It's a real shame too. As a person with very little means at the moment, I would still find a way and totally purchase a large amount of this film just to try it out and encourage bringing new products to the market place. I remember when this thread popped up over a year ago - by the time I had found it and expressed interest, it was already too late. A shame too.
Think of the possibilities. I'm sure if some kind of concerted effort was made to contact potential users about this, the response would have been larger and more positive.

The response, AFAIK, was large and positive. The problems and cost for Kodak were also large. They were unable to do this in view of a shrinking market which went from about $20B about 10 years ago to about $1B this year.
Perhaps the budget forced a choice between this route and upgrading the other existing products. See the current threads on these new items.

Is their any source for this films existence outside of this thread?

Yes, of course, if you mean documentation.
It is in the proceedings of the International Congress of photography for May 2006 held in Rochester. The presentation shows examples including photographs.

Paul Gilman has one. 
I might also refer Ajuk to the patent which has now issued.

My Gossen Profisix has an ASA indicating range of .8 to 100,000 ASA which is 0 DIN to 51 DIN.
The Gossen Mastersix, which is a digital and slightly later version of the Profisix, indicating range of 1 DIN to 60 DIN which is 1 to 800,000 ASA.
I would have to read up on just how one can extrapolate (I assume) to these figures, but as both of my instruction manuals for these books are in German, it takes me a bit of heavy concentrated effort to do so. It's the penalty I pay for buying these meters in Germany at half the price of Australian shops.

Paul specifically asked me to put up this thread and the post with the note to send to Kodak. That is it. Unless you consider that the patent is available on-line on the internet.
