Someone directly queried Lexicon, and the answer was "We don't comment on 
rumors".  I do remember one of the ex-Lex employees on the list saying 
something to the effect that the phrase "JamMan upgrade" was a sure way 
to send a roomfull of Lexicon employees into hysterical laughter.

Because many people waited until the JamMan (and the Vortex) was 
discontinued and being blown-out at deep discount before buying one.  
That's not the sort of sales record that inspires companies to invest in 
new technology.
