This was IBMs strategy for years. Announce a product well in advance of 
release to impede sales of competitive products until you could see what Big Blue 
offered. This may be Leica's desperate move to stop the Canon DSLR juggernaut.

And don't knock the Speed Graphic. It took great pictures. But, of course, it 
wouldn't fit in a jacket pocket.
