Both. However, you should know better, with your corporate background, 
than to take the verb "expect" from the release and convert it to 
"will". "Expect" is from some internal planning excercize, probably with 
too much marketing input and a lot of crossed fingers (or whatever the 
Japanese eq. is.)

Well, they finally have a contender for volume sales in the E-500, but 
they have to do two crucial things:

1. Deliver the product. If Ali can't get one, but is willing to wait, 
how many other potential buyers are simply switching to another brand?

2. Keep the product development cycle moving.
