from yifu: no avalon batch 4. avalon will focus on selling chips and developing gen2 (don't know if they will sell units). SMT line should be up in a week. batch #3 will follow quickly behind batch #2.
from josh: BFL mini rigs will probably be split into 3 units of 500GH/s. They will start sell 500GH/s units...maybe in the next 2 weeks. Power consumption of the 500GH/s units are currently ~3kW. Trying to get near 1.5kW.s
