The DM41L has been available for about a year. Though I've yet to get one, most '41 aficionados report it is quite true to the original though also faster and with no I/O of course. For me, I find my hands remember '41 commands and keyboard layout at least as well as my brain, so I imagine adjusting to the landscape keyboard arrangement should be interesting.

There has also been discussion in the past of a landscape DM42L, which would obviously have to revert to the original 2-line LCD, but no formal announcement of this model has been made. An obvious must-have for all rabid Voyager fans, it will probably seem somewhat limited after using the huge screen on the DM42; but I look forward to it and hope it eventually does appear.
