I was under the impression there were a few more initiatives.
Not for end customers, no.

The samples passed all functionality tests. The power consumption is also within the expected range. And as our overclocking tests had shown, they still have a lot of potentials compared to our original spec. This means that the biggest risk of our project is gone and our NRE is a fruitful spend.
The first production batch of chips will be out of the packaging service tomorrow. Our deploying is on its way.
The first Bitcoin-ASICs will be happily mining away shortly

I wish a statistician would rack his brains to figure out the probability, given all the different design elements, various world locations, outsourcing, and what haveyou, that all 3 major ASIC manufacturers would end up releasing their product, roughly at the same time (currently all set for Middle January). Smacks of oddity.
Collusion... maybe its for the all good they don't want to have one company get a lot of cancels or two if one delivers first. and they'll have the best competition trying to release similar performing products at the start (unless they purposefully underperform, which might be good for bitcoin actually) just speculation /\Could be, or maybe they all went through the same manufacturer in China. It is an interesting observation though, especially when all three companies started their marketing and designs at different times.

They are probably going to kick off a lot of GPU miners before any other company delivers. Not cool. Also, how many TH is ASICMINER planning on throwing on right away?

BFL has ~150TH. Avalon is ~20TH/s. bASIC was ~30TH/s, but it sounds like a lot of their orders are being canceled, so idk. ASICminer was ~50TH/s. These are just for the first batches. Avalon may be on it's second batch by the time bASIC ships, or anything crazy can happen. Who knows?

Bitcoin magazine says: Avalon ASICs, offering 60 GH/s for $1,299. These are scheduled to come out on Jan 19. ... Butterfly Labs, offering the 60 GH/s Single SC for $1,299. These are scheduled to come out slightly ahead of Avalon. ...But take it with a grain of salt, because Bitcoin Magazine Has New Ownership : "... Coin Publishing LLC is collectively owned by individuals owning or working at BitPay, Butterfly Labs, Google, Casascius, 20 Mission, and Virtual Processing Solutions. ..."

The OP should list all of the dates that were stated by the manufacturer and cross them out when they've been missed.
ie,
Mid November 2012
Early December 2012
Mid January 2013 Late 2015

Is there forum software that can handle posts this large?

Avalon may be on it's second batch by the time bASIC ships, or anything crazy can happen. Who knows? EDIT: Ok, well, bASIC just got sold, so... yeah, I could definitely see 30TH = TH now lol. BFL has cancellations as well, why only bASIC = order cancellations? I suppose the latest bASIC announcement + BFL actually shipping end of Jan would be a big blow to bASIC, but for now no one knows how many THash anyone is going to put out, just going by the self-reports. BFL estimated that 150TH would be more than all their pre-orders as of November 2012, +- orders/cancellations, for their first/continuous shipping. Avalon has 20TH/sec slated for their first batch, and I doubt they have many/any cancellations. A second batch is in the works, not filled yet. bASIC has some amount I can't recall, 30TH sounds reasonable, for their first batch, and a 2nd batch in the wings (I imagine cancellations from batch 1 free space for batch 2 to move up), reportedly "half full". ASICMiner is a slow and steady process with no shipping initially (or ever?), simply a steady stream of added power under their own control, starting with their current chips, up to 6TH, to 12TH for their "first batch", after which point they will change gears for "mass production". These are all to be taken with a huge grain of salt, as they are simply self-reported numbers from people who have nothing to show to substantiate them, with the possible exception of ASICMiner, being the first to show a chip that could potentially be an ASIC. On another note, could we get a mod to sticky this thread? Seems to be kept up to date, and with all the crazy constant drama, it's really nice to have a centralized source to check (and when there's no news it gets lost).

We implement the 1/3 shipping plan en mass 1/3 of our assembled units will go to new orders in FIFO 1/3 of our assembled units will go to upgrade orders 1/3 will be randomly selected from both groups
We descend upon the Post Office, DHL, UPS and FedEx like a horde of angry locust

Is there forum software that can handle posts this large? Is there any BB code, where they could just post a formula in code: Dim Today as Date Dim ShipDate as Date Dim Today as Date = Now()
ShipDate = Today + 30;
