Default 3-way LEDs... at last?

Anyone seen these?

http://ledsmagazine.com/news/10/11/13

There's been some discussion of these over on CPF, but only two reported
spottings both in CA. A web search for these yields only the link above
and two threads on CPF. Lowe's web site does not have them listed, my
local Lowe's doesn't have them, although a CPF poster helpfully posted
the following

For the 30/70/100 [A21 size]: Item# 424732, Model# LA30/100R/LE
0017801998832 600/1100/1600 lumens, 8/16/22 watts
For the 50/100/150 [A23 size]: Item# 424733, Model# LA50/150R/LE
0017801998849 800/1600/2200 lumens, 10/22/32 watts

just wondering if anyone had actually managed to find these little guys
in the wild and your thoughts on them. Are they really "150W
equivalent?" I suspect not, shouldn't that be closer to 2800 lm for a
true replacement? Tint? Color rendering?

I've gone as far as making a custom 3-lamp holder for a torchiere that
holds 3 Philips L-prize bulbs and screws into a 3-way socket (lights
one, two, three, none of the bulbs as you turn the key) but that is not
an optimal solution for table lamps etc. and of course L-prizes are
expensive and discontinued.

I miss being able to use incans without guilt
