Just how soon is "soooon"? Which is sooner "Soon", "Soooon" or "Soooooooooon"?
Each subsequent soon is sooner than the ones that preceded it. Basic logic.
So what's the price looking like? :d
Still $100.
Im down like James Brown.
Does LittleFM work on these, I forgot?

Yeah. I haven't published that version yet, but it's working.

100 seems steep to me....
32m - 64m EMS Smart Cart = $30-$40
Now factor in all the heartache, headache, blood, sweat, tears, lost songs, driver installation, battery replacement, and flasher building(in the case of the 32m) that goes along with the owning one of those carts.
I'd say it comes out to an additional $40. Now add in R&D, testing, and overhead, $10 more bucks is about right. Plus $10 more for sheer awesomeness and cool factor.
I'd say it's fair.
But... I probably won't be getting one any time soon, unless it's given as a gift or won in a giveaway. 10 years from now when the price has slashed to make way for the new 32t mega NES/GB/SNES/GBA/3DS/Game and Watch/VirtualBoy Slag 'n Slerp cart that's all the rage with the kids of the future, that's when I'll get one.

They'll probably go down in price when he starts to mass produce them. Consider that he wants to recoup the costs of development time, materials for the first batch and still have some money over for producing the next batch.
i'd rather have the cart that love built, though 
A cart with no battery with built in programmer that can be used on any OS? Yeah, $100 is just peachy with me.
