Momentarily is widely used in speech to mean 'in a moment,' as in The manager is on another line, but she'll be with you momentarily. This usage rarely leads to ambiguity since the intended sense can usually be determined on the basis of the tense of the verb and the context. Nonetheless, many critics hold that the adverb should be reserved for the senses 'for a moment,' and the extended usage is unacceptable to 59 percent of the Usage Panel.

Quoted again ... sort of

Yes, once again a publication with generally high standards has lowered them somewhat. It's all about the AMN6200, and there will likely be more coming in the promotional push.

For those not in the business, you do know that no one actually writes or, heaven forbid, says their own quotes ... right?
