It arrived in the mail this morning, and I was very excited to try it after having waited for about a year since ordering it. There was no driver CD inside, but there was a card that directed me to the setup page on their web site. But... it's just a launch page until the 22nd. Now, three days is not a long time to wait, but it seems wrong that having bought a product from a company, they should dictate to me that I'm not allowed to use it until the date they want to make a big, splashy entrance on. I called them, and they said they had miscalculated the shipping, and the devices had arrived sooner than they expected. They still wouldn't make the driver software available yet, though.
