Are you aware that they have been available for preorder for a couple of<br>
weeks already? That's your best bet if you want one soon. The first<br>
production units are dedicated to the preorders by individuals. I'm not<br>
sure if store shelves or Big Order customers are next in line. <br>
<br>
Only certain resellers (are allowed to ??) participate in this preorder<br>
phase. I pre-ordered one from The Pi Hut on 30 Sept. It was cheaper there<br>
than the other two Canadian resellers.<br>

I hope I'm not just repeating what you already knew,<br>
