|Does Commodore have any idea when this might be released and what the cost

|A590 be more or less?

As the flyer said these are currently "NON-PRODUCTS", just technology
previews.  Which means that thy MIGHT become actual products, or thy
MIGHT NOT.  On the same token, THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE or PRICE available
at this time, EXCEPT for the UNIX SYS V.3 which IS available NOW to
"qualified" developers.

Anybody at CATS can correct me, if I am wrong.
