I hate having stuff in two places, but I also posted this in the General Discussion since I wasn't sure where it should go.

Great news needled, thanks for the update. I went looking for more news and the best article I came up with was this one (doesn't have more info on the trials but has some quotes from other researchers):

I saw a nuero last week, and he said he is expecting it to be available in Australia either by the end of this year, or early next.

He also said (when I asked about getting it sooner) that they would probably do test/training implementation of its release, so I put my hand up to be considered for this possibility.
