Can't say much more until we've got them in hand. They're intended to 
be set-top boxes for cable TV, so likely a similar form-factor to my 
Motorola DCT5100 (about the same as a 2000-series box also).

Good question. We're not getting them direct. We're working on an 
add-on to a system being developed by another company, headed by 
someone I think everyone has heard of. They're supplying us with three 
development units shortly...
