Just saw this posted in another thread...
We are not going to be shipping the first week of November, I can definitely say that. We are waiting on the bulk chips from the foundry, that is really the major delay right now. As soon as that dam breaks loose, we pretty much have everything else either ready to go or in the pipeline to be completed shortly.
Q: when
They are not done yet. We are paying for what's called a "bullet run" though, which is essentially an expedited process to get the chips done sooner.
