When will 'Branch' be available?

There are lots of images of the remote with an e-ink display showing play, pause, next track, previous track and volume.  Like the ones here.

I would appreciate Devialet confirming the intended functionality of its phantom remote.  volume only is akin to fraud. 

I have duo silvers (on oak stands) and a dialog.

That's just fakes...take a look at official Devialet store and you'll clearly see there's no possible doubt (https://store.devialet.com) :
Phantom Remote

I don't think the image of the remote with e-ink display is a "fake" as such, I can recall this immage from official Devialet sources and indeed their own website from about 9 months ago.  Clearly the image has now changed on the Devialet website, so it looks like the e-ink pictures are early Devialet mock-ups, but subsequntly the actual design of the production models has been downgraded somewhat.  Disappointing!  I was looking forward to the upgraded e-ink display equipped remote for the Expert range, but it doesn't look like that will happen now.  Plus, it does make the Phantom remote look a little pricey for what it is, in my view.

They clearly had planned an e-ink remote but 9 months later came out with a strongly downgraded solution. What happened? Investor pressure to stress more on sales and less on R&D? Or remote has been sent back in priority because they felt remote is "nice to have" but not "must have".
Anyway, quite much disappointed, 'was waiting for it since months but this remote isn't what I expected.
