Specs:
.177 steel bb only
430 fps
30 round fixed magazine, 200 round reservoir
Weight: 2.70 lbs
Barrel Length: 7.50"
Overall Length: 15.00"
It doesn't actually offer full auto, just semiautomatic and 6 round bursts.
The preorder price looks to be $80-ish, which is a heck of a lot more affordable than the Drozd. One distributor claims it won't be available until June.
It's blowback operated, as opposed to the Drozd..
One thing that has me a little troubled is that it takes 2 CO2 catridges, but I don't know how many shots they offer.
At any rate, it looks like I'll have to budget for one.

This one is quite interesting. It seems more Drozd Blackbird inspired, with the electronic trigger control, 88g CO2 cartridge, and very high capacity.
The electronic trigger control shows some promise. I know the Drozd is very easily converted to true full auto, so I wonder if this one will be can be similarly converted. It also seems easier to convert airguns that take an 88g cartridge to a paintball tank, so this one could really offer some rock and roll.
I didn't see any release date information, so who knows when we'll see it.
There's also no rate of fire information for either model.
Also of note, they also have several new blowback bb guns, the most interesting of which is an H&K MP5K-PDW. If it fires from an open bolt, it would be very easy to convert to full auto as well.
