'We have begun shipping the Gertboard ' dated 12 Oct 2012

If I try and order one now - less than a month later - the response is 'product obsolete'

How can the Gertboard be 'obsolete' already?

In the last month I have bought 3 Raspberry Pi's and one of the main points of interest was the expandability offered by the Gertboard, there are still adverts and video's of these on this site!

How can a product be 'obsolete' in such a short space of time?, also where is the alternative BEFORE you deem it obsolete?

If you have something newer, revised or alternative - why is it not mentioned?

I am sure a great many purchasers of the Pi bought it with interfacing with the outside world in mind - now this has been taken away - where do we go now?

The how to assemble your GertBoard link doesn't seem to work, it just directs to the "Advice on getting ready to assemble your own Gertboard[emoticon:7d377b609b6f44bf9290e3d8a0b9a733] Kit" I would expect to it to link to the Assembly Manual - www.farnell.com/datasheets/1642649.pdf ?

I tried ordering mine today. My order was cancelled saying that the part is going to be removed from the website
