You right, I meant BFL (it is 4 am right here, I'm little tired...).
I don't understand - as much as I know, their ASICs are still at pre-oreder, what means they was never shipping them...
So how could they had bad record on this?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Also, what about the ASIC itself - is it seems to be profitable or maybe after they will reach the market the difficulty of bitcoin-mining will be so terrible that you won't be able to return the investment?
I know this is a pretty hard question, but I think that you (and some-other members of the forum of-course) can predict what will happen much better than me so I ask your idea about that.
BTW - are there another ASICs other than BFL that their specs are close to the ones of BFL?
Really thank you for the help,

I mean, they push the shipping date back and back and back. There are plenty of threads on here where people are PO'd about it
I don't bother with mining myself, so I don't know too much about it.
Right, the very first people with ASICs are going to have a massive advantage. However, if every miner used ASICs, it'd be a very level playing field and the rate of returns would even out. If it becomes unprofitable, they'll stop mining, and might go to altcoins--litecoin is a popular alternative to mine right now. But by the time every miner has an ASIC, there will probably be even more advanced ASICs on the market; technology always goes this way. So once ASICs are very popular, the ASIC-2 (or whatever it'll be named) will probably come around.
I believe Avalon is currently shipping ASICs, but beside BFL and Avalon, I'm not sure if there's any others.
