The 003 is still pretty new really when compared to how long the 002 was in production. I would work on the assumption a '004' is still years away.

Except that the 003 line isn't a "new" product, or even an "upgraded" product. Digi said so themselves after the initial furor from their user base at the 003 launch. It's a product "refresh". This is proved by the fact that the 003 is essentially the same thing as the 002 line, but it has wordclock, "supposedly" better preamps and converters, and a new plastic case that looks like it came off the bridge of Star Trek: The Next Generation. So
basically the 003 line is as old as the 002 line, which is what? six years now?
In a upgrade driven industry, fueled by having the newest stuff available, six years is looonngg time to keep the same product on the market.
