Financial 30th Anniversary: it is intended for mid september, to make it coincide with the 30th anniversary of a well known HP product. I appreciate the IC of HP customers and refrain for giving more details.
Scientific Reissue.
It seems that many webshops that showed information and order pages have cancelled or hid the pages. My information is as follows:
HP will release 2 versions of this reissue: ABA, for the United States,
and B1S, for EAME. Each one will have guarantee in its region, to avoid
"grey imports". For the rest, there will be no difference. Both will be
in English.
The European launch being a later decision, the units
for EAME will apparently come on top of the original 10.000 production
run (but will just be a fraction of it)
The release dates will be
different as well: beginning of october for the american model,
beginning of november for the european model. If you absolutely want to
be the earliest adopter, I won't be able to help! (we'll only carry the European version)
This means that distributor pricing might be different per regions - and hence final price.
A final comment regarding prices and taxes. We are obliged to charge 18%
VAT on all shipments to UN member states - unless we bill to a UN
intrastat VAT registered company. If you compare it with a price without
VAT, please take into account that your Customs should charge you your
local VAT + duties, based on the declared value of the goods. Sometimes
they do, sometimes they don't (during my stay in Switzerland, they
always did). You should take into consideration this fact when
comparing prices.
