Do people actually have these?  That you purchased?

It seems like a promising product.

Should have one soonish.

It's defenitely not vaporware, but as I tried to explain earlier it's a
new product from a young company making their first product so takes a
while to get production running and up to speed.

As far as I know there have been two production runs so far. A small
series of prototype boards testing the design, and an initial production
run.

Some of the accessories (SATA power cable) and packaging is still being
produced, and shipping will start when those are ready.

Then there be a second production run planned in the next weeks. That
should have a significantly faster turnaround time.

Regards
Henrik

I ordered an received twelve in Australia, Pictures can be provided as evidence if required.

I have one sitting next to me awaiting a heat sink before I try and load Ubuntu on it... I also have to finish assignments first too..

Mystery.

No you don't need one. I've never felt it get hot(while running android). I just had one the right size laying around.

14 days Via DHL. (from day of order) It was a surprise how fast they turned up. 9 days was waiting for Tom Cubie to send them.

Not bad at all. Thanks for the response.

I'm waiting on my Hackberry so it should arrive this week, based on your DHL experience. B-)
