It´s really intresting, maybe Bitcoin is the only business, where you can fool your customers for such a long time. I´m pretty sure, we aren´t the only ones waiting for their order.

It is very normal in todays hardware industry that products are funded and then horribly late. But it is not normal that end users are aware of it. As example: if instead of crowdfunding with end users BFL could get Sony as sole investor the hardware delays still exist but no one knows except Sony. When the hardware finally finished then Sony does big marketing and sells out the stock. And every one except maybe Sony is happy.

I expect there are companies out there that are doing things like this. So I expect one day we will see a big company suddenly announce ready products. But I think this does not happen until dust from ASIC rat-race settles.
