aiw 9700 pro

Does anybody have or know anything about the new all in wonder 9700 pro? I found some info on ati.com but not price, release date or comparison to my current card, the all in wonder 8500 128mb card. I was just wondering if anybody knew what kind of quality boost I would get out of my video capture?
Here is a link if anybody wants to take a look and give me some input.

That helps out with the price... I didn;t see anything on comparability with aiw 8500 radeon or release date, I will check some more though....

I am a current owner of 8500 AIW 128. My only problem about this product is that the component out adaptor requires that TV monitor to be connected and booted when computer starts. This is a hassle and makes things difficult to operate OS since PC monitor is no longer connected...

I am wondering if 9700 Pro AIW component out has "instant on" or requires a PC boot? Is PC monitor connected at the same time? Will it support TV optimized resolutions such as 1280x720 (like the 8500 AIW component video adaptor software)? Anyone knows?
