With I-Net+ going away in December, does anyone else think Project+ will be next?

Actually, CDIA+ is VERY big in the document imaging/output industries. I've heard of some sizable niches for CTT+ and Convergence+ as well.
I think Project+ has just been poorly marketed by CompTIA. I really think it should be regarded somewhat like a "baby PMP".

Project+ however is not really covered in any other CompTIA exam and therefore will be around for some time.
Looks like Project+ is staying around. On the Prometric booking site there is an option to book beta exam PK1-003 for about a quarter of the price for the Project+ (2003 objectives). A search of the CompTIA site for PK1-003 returns nothing so guessing it's invite only.
Found on a Russian site of all places that it goes live today !
Òåñò CompTIA - PK1-003 CompTIA Project+ Beta Exam
A couple of weeks ago on the CompTia site they had up the link to the form if you were interested in taking the Beta. I think it was taken down a little over a week ago so they must have reached their limit.
I would love for CompTia to offer a forensics exam. I have been really looking hard at going in the the forensics field, especially since a large part of my Server environment experience and IT work over the last two years has been within the law enforcement field.
Think I'd like to see them do a forensics exam too as I've been doing some study on forensics in between other exams and would make a great entry level cert for the field.
At least with Convergence+ you get telephony.. otherwise it's Net+ all over again.
They could consider offering Tier 2 exams for their more popular certifications like A+ and Network+. That might make them some money.. people wanting to get a Tier 2 A+ or A++ or something.
I am not sure what else they would offer that would be popular enough across the board to be worth it.

Good point. I did some looking around and a lot of the Universities in my area actually offer a BS degree in Computer Forensics. May be just a CIT degree with a Minor in Forensics but the course listing for the forensics portion covered many classes and some seemed very in-depth.
That said, there could be a need for a entry level forensics certification from what I see. Smaller local police departments or small to medium sized business that have a small IT staff could possibly benefit from an entry level Forensics employee.

It looks like so far only training is classroom, where you got to sell a kidney to afford to go. I'll wait for a book to come out.
Thanks for showing me though

It was retired on December 31st.
I have this habit of buying cert books months in advance before I sit for a exam. I had other certs I wanted to get first but I bought a book for DHTI+ and got it this week in the mail...couple days later I find out the exam is retired. Darn.
and regardless, how is DHTI worth anything? apparently it wasnt if it died.
