They say they have shipped one and are shipping at the moment..

but ... there are no third party verification of this. Over the last 4 weeks we have been told "next week" and now we find there are hardware problems with the X1 as well now as the X3's a few weeks ago.

Yes we are getting tired of BA's updates of "we will ship next week" and they they don't..

BA.. how many X1's have you actually shipped out?
