A few days have passed and we got some more informations.

The test mass production run of the nubs is currently running and the first 100 nubs are being tested right now.
The real mass production should be happening next week and the first shipment is due to arrive in Texas November 10th / 11th.

Also, it seems like hinting the board production company we might move to a new site made them wake up.
They are planning the delivery in three batches.
It takes a little more than a week to solder 2000 nubs on 1000 boards (and test them), the first shipment of 1000 boards therefore is scheduled for November 24th.
(More exact: Installing the nubs will happen from November 15th to November 19th, testing from November 16th to November 22nd, packaging those up will happen November 23rd).

The second shipment of 1000 boards is scheduled for December 1st and the third shipment for December 15th.

We didn't sell 4000 units (as that would be totally crazy, you always have to keep some for RMAs), so it could be that most of you will have their unit just before christmas, while the last few ones will follow shortly after.

Please note: This is the schedule from the board production company, not our estimations. It sounds doable though and we never got such a nice and clean schedule about the planned production yet.

Let's all hope for a smooth ride... would really ease my (and the rest of the teams) mind
