... and yet another announcement of an announcement.
Innovative way to circumvent the forum-language-nanny LOL
"It is dark the other side. Very dark!" - "Oh, shut up and eat your toast!"
It'd be weird to have an announcement at an Apple Keynote Address about an announcement to be made at the next Keynote address. But it'd be normal to have an announcement on Apple.com
REDuser.net is the only source of RED news, so it would make sense that an "announcement" would be made ON REDuser about the upcoming news release...which also happens to be on REDuser.
So, I'm not sure why an "announcement of an announcement" is supposed to have a negative connotation with it.
Call it "sizzle fatigue." I mean, did they really have to promise a "tsunami," get 9,000 people online mashing F5 in unison and bring their own server to its knees to announce an upgrade to an existing piece of free software?
I'm still extremely impressed by RED's core technology products (I conned my best friend into buying one, remember), but even I've grown weary of feeling obligated to join a personality cult/in-group when all I really want is to look at a press release, a sales brochure, a spec sheet, some sample clips and maybe a price list. RED isn't a disruptive little upstart anymore, and I wish their corporate communications style would grow the hell up to reflect it.
Perhaps we should become shareholders.
"Soon" in RED language means between 2 months and, well, NEVER.
Added: Wait, was Erik's post from Aug 31st regarding the announcement of an announcement to announce that Scarlet is going to be COMING SOON?
"Soon" is relative ;-)
There's a new announcement of announcement from Red about Scarlet - the announcement will be the same day as Canon's announcement of announcement (Nov 3rd):

...on another post Jarred or Red wrote that Scarlet will ship "this year". Maybe we're getting close, finally. Also, the word is that Scarlet has "changed", again, whatever that means this time ;-)
Anyway, 3rd of november should be an interesting day...

Scarlet will be available for order at 7 pm that day, it seems...

Did they mention November 3 of what year?

Joke around, but the paper launch is impressive. It undercuts the C300 in price and beats it in specs. RED Epic sensor, 4K, 120fps at 1K, RAW, ...game changer.
