Hello,
I don't want to intrude with questions whose answers are already known, but back in January there were estimates of "five to seven months" with regard to "shipping", by which I presume that the final hardware was meant:

However, there was also the matter of prototypes being made. This was covered in the February update:
"We might get lucky and have the PCBs back, if so I will post photographs."

The March update suggests that the prototypes were still waiting for RAM:
"Mike is following up on pricing for Samsung DDR3 RAM, which appears to be available. I want one other guaranteed supply of a completely different RAM IC and I will tell him to go ahead with the 10 samples… but not until we have an absolute guarantee of availability. Then once the samples are done we have a clear and extremely simple and straightforward production schedule to follow."

The April update made a mention of another source of RAM, but nothing new about the prototype schedule:

Are there any further updates on this situation? I imagine that the production schedule is more or less "when it is ready", as I have always understood it, but I did wonder whether there had been further progress with the prototypes.
