I think they are going for the quality of U1 rather than early release with known bugs with lower GH and higher power consumption...
These manufactures have 1 chance to do it right
My guess is U1 will hit faster than someone else buying the chips and making something smiler. I will update you on the U1. May be another trip to China for a good dim sum in the morning;D

They did have the U1 a little over a month ago when I took a trip there... It wasn't an empty promises
They have a group of dedicated engineers who always shoot higher in quality.
no price yet?
watching!
Nope just another promise that "THIS WEEKEND" .. .. lol and then "Next weekend" .. and so on and so on
I think at this point our best hope is someone buying chips makes a unit, because it seems like Bitmain only wants the money from S1 units and not us U1 people.
