| | | I'd love to see that cause as far as I know the 1275 was actually scratch. The buyout from J&J messed some stuff up in the R&D area therefore they dropped the 1275 and are continuing on with the Micropump at full speed instead, I believe they are calling that one the 1500.

I saw a prototype in Feb or March and it was really cool. |

Late 2007 is what my Animas Rep told me about 6 months ago. That is about the best info I have on that as of now

Just hung up with Animas and this is what I was told.
About a year to year and half ago prior to the J & J buyout plans was to roll out an upgraded 1250. However J & J put the scraps on that. The guy from Animas said that before J & J puts a new pump on the market they want to make sure that it is a pump that goes above and beyond all other pumps on the market, and is something that no one else has.

IF (big IF) Animas can go "above and beyond" all other pumps on the market, then I just might defect from MM. We'll see if they can pull it off, BEFORE MM comes out with their next series... |

| | The ORIGINAL plans were for teh 1275 to come out March/April of 06 and the Micropump (1500?) to come out about right now. However, like Jim said, J&J scrapped all that, well partially.
The Micropump is rumored to be a few pumps in one. It will be a tubingless pump, like the Omnipod. However, it will have interchangeable cartridges for your insulin requirements. My assumption would be if one wanted to, they could pick the size they use for that day, and just change it every day. That way they can keep the pump size to a minimum.
The micropump is also rumored to have a step above Omnipod. The pump can be controlled in simple terms by the pump itself, OR by a PDA. One the pump, there will be a few buttons that can give a bolus and that is it. No combo bolus or anything else, just a straight bolus. That at least makes sure you can take care of your insulin needs shall you leave the PDA somewhere.
Here is a small picture of it, kinda hard to fully see it though... 
The estimated size of the attached part with the 3 ml reservoir attached is 65mm x 38 mm x 11 mm. So still pretty thick. In comparison, the Omnipod "pod" is 41 mm x 61 mm x 18 mm. So the size is partially smaller than the Omnipod in terms of thickness. But the main advantage, control from the pump, and you don't throw the entire device out, just the replaceable insulin cartridge.
There are also plans of ways to control the pump besides a PDA, say for example a special wrist watch, or maybe a new blood glucose meter. The possibilities are endless. And I must say, MM would need to come out with something amazing to top that. But with them figuring out how to recover from the BD fallout, they might not being doing as much R&D on the pumps now.

As recently as last month that Rep started saying 1Q07 instead, with a 300 unit version available late in 1Q07, with the micropump coming in 4Q07.
There's so much misinformation out there, who knows.

It's kinda pointless now especially since they are very close to going for FDA approval on the Micro/Nanopump. They did that with the 1200, made the 1200 and within 4 months had the 1250 out which made alot mad when they had to pay $200 to get the upgrade.
That and Animas is one of the most top secret companies, same with Lifescan, in that they don't reveal much about what they are coming up with until it hits the market. Which that's a great sales tacket to surprise the competitor.

Cause last time with the 1200 to 1200 upgrade I think they either sent you a refurbed 1200 converted to a 1200+ or they gave you a loaner for a few days while you sent yours back to them to do the software upgrade. EIther way, you really weren't getting a brand new pump.
