Anyone else seen this bogus press release from Sprint about "new" accessoris?

I kept seeing all these newswires and blogs picking up the same information, that Sprint released "new" accessories. I got excited and thought, great, finally, the charging case. Instead, what Sprint's PR machine did was issue a press release about "new" accessoires. The problem is, these are the SAME accessories, they've been selling since day one. There's NOTHING new in them.

What I find insulting is all of us who've been waiting for something useful to come out are duped into thinking that they're finally releasing what we've been waiting for only to find out, nope, just Sprint's bogus PR hype.

Anyone else seen these "new" accessories postings around the intrawebs?

Oh, had to add what they're selling the 16Gb card for:

16 GB memory card with pocket-sized SanDisk MobileMate Micro card USB reader for convenient connection to a PC: $99.99 (plus tax)

Considering you can pick it up the 32Gb card today from Verizon for $49.99 (free shipping), not exactly sure who they're trying to fool.
