BFL has a strategy. And first and foremost, it's a company and any company's mandate is to earn profit.
WTF do you think would happen if they put a year into developing multiple units with multiple hash rates and then only shipped the largest most powerful units first?
Logic should tell you that the lower powered units would never sell because A. the difficulty would rise too high too fast and the lower units would be worthless & B. a massive amount of btc would fall into the hands of a few and completely imbalance the economy.

No more GPU mining, no more low powered ASIC's. Just big farms of high powered units doing all the work and it would completely destroy their market value and all the work and profit they invested into the lower powered units.

Furthermore. These things are money making machines. Why the hell would Domino's Pizza give the recipe and ingredients to the starving people who would normally buy their pizzas?

Yea BFL are real humanitarians.

The moronic speculations from half-witted btc noobs is staggering. Why would BFL send you a unit that would put them out of business?

Continue mining with your GPU until the difficulty matches your power costs. Then you'll see ASIC's be more than a trickle in the marketplace. Until then, BFL will continue to ship to their online friends and continue to build hype for preorders. If you're lucky you might see a 5ghs unit in your hands by the time the difficulty is high enough to make .03 btc per day.

Speculation will not drive the value of btc up. It will be driven up by it's usefulness as a currency. So why don't you spend more time thinking about how to use BTC in your daily lives rather than if a company has your best interests at heart.
