(I have edited this post to add the recent news from UBI!!)

All,

Please note that this is the US press release that is being sent out today. I am not certain, but the release date outside the US could be different due to replication and shipping factors. I should know this tomorrow and I will ask Cartrix to make an annoucement on the main page.
