    I ordered mine at the beginning of the month. Little bit annoyed that they've taken payment but not delivered yet. Nice bit of wedge built on a promise, no?

    I got the mail stating I can order it now. It is from Farnell where do I check the total charges and expected time to deliver? I can't seem to find it and I'm by the point of giving my credit card info.

    has anyone got one of these yet? newark must have got a shipment in and moved up the shipping dates, because they say mine is now shipping today.

    I still haven't got mine. Mine doesn't even have a shipping date.

    O_o

    I don't recall the exact date, but its been a couple or three months.

    According to the person I spoke with, I had just barely got my order in before they cut them off for the third round. It was implied, but not explicitly stated, that they took more orders in that round than they could fill so I would probably have to wait for the fifth round of shipping which I believe is still a month away.

    *shrug*

    Then again, I haven't spoke with anyone in a month so I don't know what the situation is about.

    [Edit]
    And yeah, I know a few other people who got their kit way sooner than expected. I've no idea why; just count yourself lucky.

    Mine turned up last Saturday

    SoC's a bit weird, apparently it requires access to a display driver on a bootable SD card before it will display/do anything. Something wrong = nothing happens.
    Fortunately it does have an "OK" LED.
