Hey Mario

No new info, or indeed any info, about a TI mk2, yet.

Even if they announced a TI mk2 at January NAMM this winter (which is completely hypothetical at this point), it would likely be just an announcement - a work-in-progress report - and probably wouldn't ship anytime soon.

With the TI mk1, it was announced in December 2004, but it didn't actually start shipping until October 2005 some ten months later, albeit there were a few 'hiccups'. On the other hand I think Access wont announce anything until it's ready this time around, so I think a TI mk2 release will be much slicker.

But Winter NAMM is usually the place to look for new info.

If TIs start dropping in price from retailers anytime soon by, say, £200, then that is possibly a good indicator that an mk2 is waiting in the wings. At least that's what happened with the Virus Cs.

If anything, though, they've bumped up the prices. The TI kbd and Polar cost £1500 a year ago, and went up to £1700 in recent times... Before the world suffered global financial meltdown. It's dropped back down by £45.

I hope they add a coffee maker to the mk2. That would really help me out with production.

I'd go with that, but it's gotta have cappuccino capability. Double expresso in there. Weeeeeeeeee!!

Perhaps Access thought of that already, and the coffee maker upgrade is going to be part of the next OS update. I was always wondering what the "standby" mode was for, I bet if I ever did turn my TI off (for some strange reason) that would activate the coffee function...

Hmm.... Let's try that..... Nope. No coffee yet.


Can anyone else confirm this?

I bet you didn't turn it off long enough
