I found myself a little excited to read the latest update from Farnell/Newark. You can all go over and look.
However here are some highlights:
1. Seems that they have 110,000 orders for the RPi. This adds to another 70,000 that just registered interest and haven't ordered yet.
2. They have 4,000 on the way right now from china for the next set of deliveries. I'd put my money on these being their share of the 8,000 remaining from the RPF original order of 10,000. You can make your own conclusions.
3. They have an order for 12,000 coming mid-may. First distributor production run? Me thinks yes...
4. Over the next few days all of those 110,000 customers will get a delivery date.
I'm curious to see these delivery dates. I know that on Friday there were many people on various forums stating they got a date, even people who ordered in April. Most of these people seem to be in the UK. Newark hasn't given dates yet, but I really hope that are somewhat aligned.
