There are many tens of thousands of 430s and 530 installed and upgrading

But at the $1500 price that Garmin has publically committed to is it that
big of a revenue stream for them? I mean its not chump change for some of
us, but considering what needs to happen to a 430 for this to work (new
software, new processor, new re-certification(?), the overhead of a whole
upgrade program), I'm surpised that Garmin can even break even at that
price.

See my cynical view posting of earlier. The ship-by date on this
alleged upgrade has been steadily slipping. Now it's a year away.

Wake me up when the sucker starts shipping.

Oh yeah, bonus points if you can find out how to get on the waiting
list for this alleged upgrade.
