New version of ReadyNAS Ultra 4?

After the Osborne debacle in the early 80's, no tech company will announce a new product before it is actually ready to enter the retail chain. In many cases, they stop production of the current model and when the warehouse is empty of the current model, they will announce the new model and begin shipments. If you need one now, you need not worry as the x-86 line will be viable for many many years yet.
