That makes no sense. Why would KNC says "We expect to ship to Batch 1 pre-order customers this week and to Batch 2 pre-order customers before the end of the month." in their latest posting?
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-94So nobody knows a real situation with litecoing hardware from KnC?
Batch 2, October 30th. Expect it no sooner or you will be disappointed
The batches that are shipping now are Neptune SHA256 machines. That is what the news relates to.
The other quote is talking about Titan scrypt machines which are not shipping yet and likely will not ship for a while. They only taped out recently...
EDIT: They announced the tape out of the Titan chip on June 5th
