From the Apex web site (www.shop-apex.com):

Thanks for the update...I will be in the same situation as most early-birds by August with expired coupons. I had heard from a vendor that the Apex DT250 have arrived from over sea and have to go through distribution.. any idea where the units will show up first??

I just picked one of these APEX DT250 units up at my local Best Buy store last night. I actually went there to buy their Insignia brand, but they didn't have any and had probably 50 of these APEX boxes there instead.

I didn't have a lot of time to play with it yet, but it seemed to work pretty good.

Sorry. Up until recently the Apex site said August but now Apex sites says they are at Best Buy stores. Looks like not yet available on line. Reviews seem mixed?
