Ah, I'm beginning to doubt that we'll see them in November. BFL_Josh said, "We expect the final chip versions to be in our hands in ~25 days..." That puts it on the 24th of November which is Thanksgiving weekend here in the US, which will throw shipping and such off even further. What's the chance of there being absolutely no other issues/delays and them getting the chips delivered, the units assembled and shipped within 5 days to make November?

This is the post what cracked me up:
"Well, that is a bit dissapointing but the new photos are great. I appreciate your honest and consistent updates. Just promise me you'll beat the other ASIC guys to market!"
Wonder which company this poster is referencing. Can't possibly be BFL. Heatsinks for the single could have & *should have* been secured weeks ago. This is a very poorly managed company just locking up pre-orders with false shipping schedules and outright lies. Just as they did last time...and just as they assured everyone they'd not do this time.

Butterfly Labs, INC. is accepting pre-orders for ASIC based products, expected to begin shipping in late October or early November 2012. Your pre-order with payment confirms your place in line for delivery once we begin shipping. Payments made for pre-orders of ASIC based products now under development should be considered non-refundable until products begin shipping or 1 January 2013, whichever is earlier. Come January 1st, 2013, if the units aren't delivered then people can start applying for refunds. Don't want to be around the Lab when that day rolls around and nothing has been delivered. We may see shuttered doors.

I'm going to start a business taking pre-orders to fund vaporware and I want 10k customers JUST LIKE YOU! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) It's not unreasonable to expect a company to follow their own timetable or to jump on them when they do otherwise. There's significant money at stake here. If BFL fails to ship first their customers' ROI will be considerably lengthened. A huge number of their pre-orders were placed by people reasonably expecting them to ship in October and therefore first. The difference between Oct & Nov may be minsicule to these customers, but the difference between Oct and Dec may be huge if a "smaller" company beats them to the punch.

<images linked from BFL forums>
Thanks, but links to the BFL-hosted images still don't work without a forum login. I'm asking if someone will download the images, upload them to imgur or somewhere, and then post those links. Edit: Nevermind, I registered myself. Here they are.

So now both BFL and Tom are expecting a launch at around beginning of December. This is interesting.
Hey quick question, I though Tom was going to launch in November? Do you have a link to this update?
