The promise will then be in form of a written and signed contract, with yearly checks.

You joke now, but come February or March of 2009, when this entire market segment completely dries up, and all four MF makers only show one potential order on the books from some guy in Omaha, Nebraska, named "W. Buffett", you might not think I"m joking.
What is appealing, at least in my tiny limited mind, is that you might have a way to design backs, with the P65+ style, where you have one case and chip design, but the firmware would determine how large a MP it was. To streamline the manufacturing process and get some volume going.
With my old Phase back, I remember a setting: "IIQ LARGE" and "IIQ SMALL". Set it Small for 31MP, or set it to Large for 50MP. Simple as that. At least that's my dream for the P65.
If you bought the IIQSmall, and you wanted to shoot larger, just change it to Large, and give it your AMEX number to upgrade! One back; one case; one LCD; full size 645 chip; and only the internals changed.
The goal: do something, anything -- to get the price down, to generate volume, to survive these next eighteen months. We ain't seen nothin' yet.
