If I read the VIBE material correctly on the Animas - Great Britain site, there is still a meter/remote and it is the color screen unit also available in Canada now.

Vibe has no remote control.
When you enter a fingerstick measure you can select to use it to calibrate the integrated CGM.
For everything else pump and CGM are separate things.
Vibe dimensions are the same as the ping / 2020

The Ping is bigger than the 2020 for sure. The Vibe will be bigger than the Ping as well. Check the tech specs . I am not 100% sure on the vibe being bigger than the Ping but the Ping is for sure larger than the 2020

Reading the Vibe Manual:

Dimensions: 8.26 x 5.08 x 2.18 (3.25 x 2.00 x 0.86 inches)
Weight: Approximately 105 grams (70 ounces)

Ping, from link ping:
Size: 5.08 x 8.255 x 2.159 centimeters

So Vibe is equal to PING.

Interesing. When I use a ruler to look at the thickness of the Ping I get at most 2 cm and that is looking at the "bump" that comes from the screen. I do not know how they determine how to measure these things but I guess you go with their official stats.
Thanks for looking up the Ping dimensions. Didn't have time to when I posted above. I believe the last link was the dimensions for the 2020 even though it labeled the pump as the Ping.

My Dexcom rep and Animas Rep both told me, in seperate meetings and at different times (more than once) that for anyone buying an Animas Ping, the option to uprgrade to a VIBE when they are available in the US is $99.
