Why are they air shipping such a limited quantity? I got four out of the first batch and have had eight on pre-order for two weeks now. Double Radius finally got an order in and there were 15 radios. That seems like a very small amount to ship. I have pre-orders in with both DR and Streakwave and still no AF5X. Is this like the Playstation launches where they intentionally produce less than demand in order to generate hype? I'm hyped. Please send more AF5X now.
