I see that a german version of the book will be released in October 2007. Is this just a translation of the original english book or has it a different content, e.g. is more up-to-date? The reason i ask is: can i just buy the english book as eBook now or should i wait for the german book? The language doesn't matter for me.

I think you mean this?

That is a literal translation to German.

Yes, that's the book i meant.

Thank you for the reply.
