For what it's worth, Taptes new version with USB C is scheduled for shipping Nov 4 on Amazon. I assume that will be pretty accurate date sine Amazon is handling the shipping and easy return through Amazon. I might give that a try since it's half the price and easily free return to Amazon if I don't like it.
