Just don't hold your breath waiting for one. Other estimates suggest there are 350,000 people already waiting on orders, pre-orders and other waiting lists. It will take a while to clear up that backlog. It is a remarkable device for the price. The closest product I have actually worked with was the Digi ConnectME. That was very useful as a network appliance, but at US$47 in small quantities, it only had one each Ethernet and serial ports.
