Pure speculation here...
I noticed that the V2 is "sold out" on the Vertica Sports website
http://www.verticasports.com/shop/v2-flight-instrument/
Does this foreshadow the announcement of the V3?
What is the latest date that a company can deliver a new product and expect it to sell for the 2013 soaring season? One highly regarded soaring product maker set March 31 for delivery of a promising new product. Is that the usual time of year for soaring product release? From various old blog posts, I gather that the V2 was released in September 2012.
There are still V2s_under_another_brand_name in stock at distributors. Does any distributor still have Vertica-branded V2s in stock?
