Additionally, it looks like they won't sell boards (post-beta) until sometime early next year.

"I don’t think, sadly, that you’re going to be able to give them away as Christmas gifts this year. We will, however, be making as many of these as we can sell (not just 10k) in the new year, so I suggest you get planning for birthdays, anniversaries and wedding presents!"

Yes this is indeed very disappointing. I guess I might have misunderstood most of the blog posts when they said they would be releasing by the end of this year, and that the prices were set to $25 and $35. So I guess we all have to wait for next year.

A couple month slips is pretty typical, especially for a project that is everyone's 'side-project' and not day job.

I'm happier with their open communication instead of having built it in private and released it suddenly one day.

I agree. Still I was hoping to get at least a couple of those by the end year... I have a couple cool ideas I wanted to use it for.

But I do agree. It is understandable. It doesn't make me feel better though.
