My personal opinion is that the Dragon is pure vapor.


I agree that it might be "vapor" in a sense that it will probably never get released.
But calling it "pure vapor" suggests that it simply doesn't exist and was never seen running.
A year ago the Dragon was demonstrated at a Polish meeting. Some movies here.

Look, in elbox's webpage the Sharkppc cards were marketed that these cards will go into production when os4 finished.


When OS4 is finished? Even that is currently under debate. For the lawsuit, Hyperion wants to make it appear that it was finished in 2003/2004, Xmas 2006 they said that "It's done" and some months ago they announced that they are preparing the final ISO including packaging. So we have three dates that could be interpreted in such a way that "OS4 is done".
Elbox would still choose another date. Preferably one that lies far far in the future.  :-P

But above all, if these elbox products is ready for the productions, elbox why don't relase any preview for its speed benchmark under pre relased (beta,test version, etc) os4.


Because they don't have any access to OS4. I also doubt they are in contact with Hyperion or Amiga Inc in any kind of form.
There will never be a SharkPPC. Get over it. Btw, the prices of the Sonnet Crescendo are simply hilarious compared to the prices that Elbox states for the SharkPPC. Not that we aren't used to that however...
