but is there actually a credible media source that has confirmed receiving a unit?
Don't you think Wired magazine or the author of cgminer are credible?
All the data from these two sources, point to pre-production prototypes...not production units, and were still painfully shy of the supposed amount shipped out at this point.
If you have other evidence or thread links to the contrary this would be a great place to post them.
This of course goes back to the credibility of the first post of this thread as well.
If you have any evidence that they were not production units, I would like to see it.
