Right, the first version isn't supposed to be a mass market consumer 
device.  But I believe the intention
is that the version that was intended to ship in September was to be a 
mass market device.

Well, the 1st production run was scheduled for the 10th, and it's now 
the 14th.  We've yet to hear
a peep from anyone.  So, if I was a betting man I'd say that it either 
didn't go off, or another
show stopper / slip causer popped up.
