Hello,

Does anybody know if Epson is going to launch new model scanners soon??
Could find nothing on their site and Google.

Greetings
 
Go the Epson Japan site to see the first announcements. The F3200 or 3200F
is listed there.

Do you really think that any company will make an announcement that
their current product range on the shelf will be obsolete before the
replacement is ready to ship?

Here in the UK that's called "A Ratner" as described here:

Don't know if it is international financial slang. ;-)

It's done all the time... It's a gambit to make the competitor's brand
new product stay on the shelf. In the software world there's even a
name for it: "vaporware". It goes like this:

The competitor releases a new wowie-zowie product. The company has
nothing to match it so they get their marketroid drones to produce an
"announcement" of a "more better" product i.e. "Don't buy the existing
product of our competitor's because we are just about to release
something better and cheaper. No, really! Trust us!". Riiiight...

So, my advice to the original post is: Don't rely on any
announcements. Consider only what's available. Yes, new products will
be released, but if you wait, you'll wait forever. If you can afford
it and it suits your current requirements buy now, then close your
eyes and ears for a while because you're bound to be sorry. It's just
the way it is. :-(

Which works only when the competitor product has already made your
product obsolete, which is not the case with the current Epson flatbed
scanner range. No company will announce that their own product is
obsolete before the replacement is ready to roll, it is commercial
suicide.

I just said that:
"The company has nothing to match it..."

That's what "vaporware" is all about: To counter an existing product
with fog.
