We just started handing them to core devs (and yes it's a really nice device). Once we'll have confidence that it's stable enough we will roll out to more people internally at Mozilla and then externally.
Just a few weeks away!
Hey. That sounds amazing and I appreciate the answer. But ..
1) You state 'We just started handing them out', implying you are part of the process? Would you mind sharing your connection? Your profile doesn't say a lot. Are you with Mozilla?
2) So, my core question is still open: You hope for a release just a few weeks away? Where would I read about that, how would I keep tabs on this device's official launch (or open pre-order)? If you're deeply involved (as it seems, see 1), got any pointers for relevant "You can now order the device here" news channels?
1) I'm a mozilla employee working on Firefox OS. So, I have a pretty direct connection to what's happening there ;)
2) There will be an official announcement on Mozilla's blog for sure (https://blog.mozilla.org/).
The manufacturer's site [2] seems - well - useless.
Any mailing lists/twitter accounts or whatever that I can follow to get my hands on that thing as soon as it comes out?
