^^^^ I agree, I would rather them focus their efforts on shipping Batch #1 and Batch #2 by their deadlines period. He stated "no news is good news" as we need to take it at face value that they are on schedule and have focused their resources on meeting these goals.
you're not concerned about the 53 units they said they shipped out by January 28th? At least 16 days in the mail now and not a peep.
He said that they were attempting to ship out 53 units, and they would know by Feb 2nd if they had "made it out" or not.
I'm guessing that no news is bad news in this case, and they did not in fact make it out.
