That sucks, I haven't heard anything about it recently either and I AM a beta tester. Trust me when I tell you that their spending alot of time refining things and adding things that have been suggested.
It would suck for them to lose a customer to an AEM just because of the delay.. you should at least contact them and ask them if you can beta test. Your car would likely be the most modified car running a UTEC, it should be a good test of the open loop fuel control, scaling, adjustable rev limits, and bypassed fuel cut..

Getting big numbers out of the dyno or the drag strip is only part of the work when setting up a full standalone.
I won't go through the configuration and feature programming on a standalone just to get the car running for the first time..
we're lucky that the AEM, Autronic, and other standalones come with a base setup to get the car running, but unless your really familiar with the units, and have the time to spend tweaking things like A/C Compressor cycling, engine fans, Cold start enrichment, part throttle cruising, knock thresholds, injector types, just to get the car to "drive like stock" in daily driving.. Tuning is more than WOT performance, its about fuel economy, smooth cruising, safety, comfort, durability.. Something that the stock ECU does well..
But I get the best of both worlds, I can optimize the performance aspect of the tuning, with absolute control of the important features, without having to start over by creating a drivable car, and let the ECU perform the mundane day to day stuff that mitsubishi has spent years developing...
Ya know, its a pointless debate because everyone is going to believe what they want about which is better.. Truth is NEITHER is better, their just different.. But a one line comment like that is just unecessary and pointless.. Might as well try to convince a MAC user that he can be just as productive on a PC..

Sorry for the delay. With all the projects we have going on it's hard for me on the Sales and Tech side to influence the Engineers and Owner's on what they should prioritize. We basically have a lot of projects going on.
Honestly, would you rather a rushed half assed update or a complete and functioning update.
If the same features that made you purchase the UTEC do not fit your mod path any longer, by all means go the direction that will make you happy. In the end each engine management has a place for certain people. I know dearly that the new software makes tuning the EVO cake walk.

P.S. - The UTEC drives the ignition coils and the injectors. Piggy backs don't do that.

by al means, the utec is my choice hands down....... w/ injector scaling and rev limit control. i sure don't wish to spend another 2K when i know i have a capable tool already. it's just that this season will be gone very soon. i, along w/ everyone else, know that you guys are very busy and none of us want a "half assed upgrage." maybe a taste of what's to come. just the scaling, or rev limit control? anything would be a godsend at this point. i am very genuine when i say that i appreciate all that you guys do for enthusiasts and am not bad mouthing you at all, i'm just getting a bit anxious to see what my car can actually produce.
thanks,
jeremy
