Gypsy Question

Does anyone know if Cricut is discontinuing the Gypsy? A friend's Gypsy is not working properly. She phoned Cricut and was told that if she bought a new Gypsy, mailed both Gypsy devices that they would put the card from the old Gypsy inside her new Gypsy and return the new Gypsy to her. She cannot find a new Gypsy to buy. Circut shows out of stock. She wants to know if the Gypsy is being discontinued so people will use the Craftroom instead. Please comment if you know anything about this.

Phoned Provo Craft 800# and asked them what's up with the Gypsy. Spoke to a nice & friendly rep named Joyce and she said that they are awaiting a new shipment of Gypsy devices since they are out of stock currently. She also said she hopes that the 'download' from CraftRoom to Gypsy is going to be available. She said 'hope' so she did not know if this was happening or not for definite. She did say that if the 'download' option happens that you will not have to buy a new Gypsy. I also asked her about warranty on the Gypsy and she said it is 1 yr. I wanted to know whether the warranty on mine had another full yr from Fall of last yr and she said no that the warranty is based on the old one. Hoping mine does not go on the blitz. I asked her about having to reset my Gypsy using the stylus and she said that this happens a lot due to information overload.
