Sure enough two of my photos caught my eye. I zoomed in on the photos and noticed a Digium Asterisk Appliance with a model number printed that says "AA1080" or "AA1060". I can't be sure which model number is correct. Although my Canon Powershot G9 is 12.1 mexapixels, I was too far away when I snapped the photo to get a good resolution shot of the model name. I put on my best CSI and CIA photo enhancement techniques (aka Photoshop) to try and enhance the image, but I still can't make out if it's AA1080 or AA1060.
Nevertheless, it would appear Digium has a yet-unreleased 1U appliance called the AA1080 or AA1060. Today, Digium has only announced the Digium AA60, AA300, and AA350 appliances. So the AA1080/AA1060 could be the next iteration. Check out the two photos for yourself...

Bill Miller, VP of Product Management at Digium writes to tell me, "There are no plans at this time to launch what you saw, but those units you saw are the voice system of Interop for the second time as we are technology sponsors with Polycom."
Ah well, it was fun while it lasted, but it appears no AA1080 or AA1060 will be coming to market -- or maybe that's just want Bill wants me to believe.
