Allow me to add my slightly more-informed two cents and say that I would also agree. My [wholesale] distros are telling me that few of them plan to widen their variety of 650b offerings for next year because demand has fallen off among specialty shops and their customers; and that demand never really took hold in the mass-produced sector of the market.
It's a tough, tough economy out there, and a handful of enthusiasts and two or three dedicated niche suppliers simply can't make up sufficient numbers to keep the size growing the way it needs to to really get Trek's or Giant's attention in a big way. If the Big Kids are not interested, it's just not going to happen on a large scale.
