when is next batch due?

Former Member

Newark, at: http://www.newark.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-pcba/raspberry-pi-model-b-board-only/dp/83T1943

says (when clicking on "availability, check more stock")

  "1 Expected to ship 15 Aug, 2012    

   Further stock expected to ship 5 Sep, 2012"

 

JennyPeters of element14, on RPi.org forum says:  

    "Next 4000 are expected in May -- exact date still to be agreed."

 

Abishur on RPi.org forum says:   

  "for all I know they could be on the backs of 7 Sherpas traveling over the Himalayas as we type".

 

Liz on RPi.org forum says they are expected to pitch up before midweek, but she doesn't

have the tracking number because they are being shipped directly to the distributors.

 

please clarify!

  • I'm interested in what kind of date range I could expect a RPi in, having ordered one yesterday in repsonse to a Farnell email that stated 'You can now Pre-Order your Raspberry Pi' to which I did. If I am in a queue of tens or hundreds of thousands that are already in a queue, are the distros just keen to keep their queues high to help RPi with expectations of volumes, or are they trying to get people to at least place an order and give up their credit card numbers now before publicity dies down and people would then not bother or even forget about the RPi?

     

    What I'm wondering now is if my order is so far down the list, will it come with a case... and will there be any 'free' tshirts left that I was also made aware of on the order page?!
