Hi,
I spoke to Philips this morning and they provided the following information:

1. They are producing 120 Pronto Units per day.
2. They have shipped 1000 units to wholesellers.
3. Programing software is currently in Beta test and is scheduled for release in January 1999.

They also said the Pronto was in "tremendous" demand and they are trying to meet the demand.

Encouraging news indeed.
