i really hope for a light version (connect via USB and powered by PSU, not standalone)
i am afraid that standalone version will have more weight and will be bigger!

I don't see any reason why the standalone version could not be powered by a standard PSU. As long as the voltage and amperage match it should be ok.

according to what was written in this thread (power consumption, built-in linux based PC), I'm sure that device will contain regular PSU

Don't worry - for some of us - being on time wasn't any use anyway.

... watched the countdown - still couldn't order.

Whats with the stalling?  Is Ngzhang busy making fresh bank accounts or something?  Still waiting on my e-mail for the WT info.. but at this point, I think I'm going to pull out and wait till the day ASIC units are readily available.  The market for ASIC seems too volatile as of current. =/

PLEASE! DO NOT use EMS for international shipping.

At least in germany ordering with EMS means getting ripped off because EMS packages are delivered with GdSK in germany. They charge you ridiculous fees for getting your package through customs. Pleaser offer other options like DHL.

EMS is great to Sydney/Aus - the couriers drop it at the postoffice if you aren't home, and I've not had to pay taxes or fees so far Smiley

Not sure if it works the same way as in Canada, but here you can call the currier and request them not to broker the customs (which of course they love to do without asking you) - you can then do the paperwork and release the package yourself.

They're there, in their room.

Yes, you can tell them (EMS/GdSK) you handle customs yourself. But you don't want to mess with german customs. At least I don't want to Wink

DHL, FedEx, ... handle customs for you FREE of charge.

Someone has already set-up any group buying program? I'm also interested in. Which should be a scaled down versions of project-Pi. But if there have not at least 10 units orders I'll probably give up the idea.

Would these ship with the full purchase price declared on the CN22?

I routinely order a ton of stuff from Asia, and 90+% of it arrives with a much lower value declared, and/or declared as a gift.  So much so that I have never once been assessed a duty fee despite hundreds of orders, some of them for over $1000 USD.

Some places even state their practice right in their shipping policy.  For instance:
http://help.dx.com/Frequently%20Asked%20Questions.ashx#What_is_the_declaration_on_the_shipping_label__17

Guys, this can be communicated with ASIC responsibles when the packages are ready to be sent.
Everyone can ask for the desired value declaration according to weight and size of their package.
It is meaningless to continue this discussion now, it is too early Smiley

ngzhang, can you not expose me to customs fraud and declare the true value of my shipment please?
He can't unless you order one from him Smiley

talking about shipping?

Yeah, every Chinese seller will do a very flexible shipping declare for reduce the extra cost for their customers.

And the delivery method, I think EMS is cheap and nice for most of the country, except Germany , Brazil and maybe a little more.

Please give me some advise.
