Hope the VP you have a connection with can make a difference.  It would be a real blow for the device look up feature of NevoStudio Pro to be gone forever, especially since they stopped selling the S70 as recently as April/May of 2011.  That is hardly a year of post product support on equipment that was purchased with the intent of a long multi-year life.  It just does not seem plausible that a financially stable company like UEI would just end the developer tool set with no notice, no communication and only a year since discontinuing the base product mix that I am sure at least 10s of thousands of units exit out there.
