Hi Gary We have posted some information about our plans for our Overo product line in gumstix.net: http://www.gumstix.net/Hardware/view/Hardware/Product-Roadmap-Overo/112.html Although we have not announced release dates for these products, you can look for the first of the LCD-capable expansion boards to be released this winter 2009. This would be second Overo expansion board, in addition to the Summit board that we released last Fall.
