The official launch of IOTA will occur on July 11:
After several months of testing and optimization we are finally at the last chapter of the 'beta phase', ready to venture into the real world with IOTA's novel technology.

IOTA is a new and novel micro-transaction crypto-token optimized for the Internet-of-Things. It aims to become the backbone of Economy-of-Things and the world standard for micro-transactions. Its creators maintain they've achieved remarkable results in such important areas as: scalability, storage, bandwidth and fees (actually there are no fees, just like Steem). IOTA’s design diverged radically from other blockchain crypto-currencies. It's a blockchain but without blocks - it makes use of Directed Acyclic Graph.

For more information, please refer to the new website, the forum, or the white-paper.
(Actually their website looks quite amazing and the speed of development is quite impressive, considering the limited budget they have.)
and the best, one and only place to buy and trade IOTA is Bitfinex (http://bit.ly/2jeOM8V)
