Yes, it will do DW or JTAG debugging for devices up to 32K.
No plans to have it do any more than that even though it is
supposed to program all devices eventually.

The reason for the offers seems to be that there is a STK600
(~US$200.00??) rumored to be available later this year that MAY
work like a JTAG2 but retaining the STK500 functionality.

I have been using the Dragon for almost a year now and it
pretty good for what you pay.

If you only want to use devices up to 32K then the STK500 + Dragon
is great. You may also be able to get a JTAG MK1 for about US40.00
and it will do larger but mature devices like the M64 and M128.
It will not be improved any further for newer devices however.
