AFAIK, 350 boards or something like that are already finished (including tested nubs) or will be finished shortly.
If we're lucky, something might happen next week, might also be the week after.

But testing and production is continuing and hopefully will speed up soon... :)

Are we still on track for that incredible "All first batch Pandora's should be shipped by October" estimate, or was that dumped in the toilet in the few days I've been away?

yep. Craigix does sound very confident this time.
And after 2 years on these board I start to believe :P

Well, if the company manages to produce 250 boards a week, they would produce 350 per week, it would be enough if they do that constantly from August 1st on.
We can easily build 150 a day, so once it really gets rolling, it should go fast.

However, bugging the company to actually do their work so fast seems to be one of the hardest tasks - but as now the nubs a prechecked and everything, things should theoretically go smooth.

203 boards arriving on Monday with the nubs tested (if UPS don't mess up).

There are 203 cases ready for those boards to go straight in to so they will ship next week too.

Then we hope it's all go go go for Aug/Sept.

Every few hundred we make we improve the build process, this is very important to get right since we plan to use this case and system for a couple of years.

In a couple of years, I wonder what the future (development) may bring!.

The goal is near perfect software/hardware and available to any customer with a 7 day delivery time. We will get there, slowly we are gaining more control over everything, each slow step improves the situation greatly.

It's exciting but I just wish it would all happen more quickly, although when I look back at what we have achieved it's immense.
