The first 20k units (which will ship in late 2021) sold out in about 20 minutes. Exciting to see. Can't wait to get access to the SDK...!

Yeah, all sold out after like 17 min, can't wait to crank that crank :P

Hopefully the SDK is available before hardware ships, or at least day one. I'm tempted to beg for early access to it. Although I'm excited about the launch games, I really bought it for development. I don't want to wait 6 months or a year to deploy to it

Same, and I agree.

I’m (weirdly?) dreaming of trying to port/make “utility” apps for the device, like some form of web browser and VoIP phone. Or a small offline 1 bit map? (Crank to zoom in/out)? :)

Same here, I've got a few ideas in mind that I'm excited to try out whenever I eventually get one.

Disappointing that I can't get one sooner, but that's fantastic news for Panic and Playdate.
