Foreword: This is NOT targeted for Elias Bakken! I guess he is the last to blame.
Hi all, I am one of the lucky ones who bought one of the RepliCapes from the first batch on http://www.thing-printer.com/product/replicape/. Being busy with other stuff as well, I don't mind a delay of some weeks - but now we are somewhat like ten weeks behind the schedule. I know CircuitCo is hard working on ramping up production of the BeagleBone and its new revision, yet I want to express my thinking of this matter: It's not particularly the BeagleBone what makes the BeagleBone unique in the vast range of ARM-based embedded boards - it's the capes. If I would need more processing power, I would go for Odroid-X3. If I need availability for decades and processing power, I take a sip from Freescale imx6 bowl (Wandboard, UDOO, Riotboard, whatever). And going cheaper, there is still the RPi with its ridicolous board layout. But - I love the Beaglebone Layout with its cape support. Making own capes or BUYING someones other cape at my specific needs is the key strength of the whole Beaglebone ecosystem. The Replicape won the one and only CapeContest so there seems to be quality as well as demand. For what reason does it take so long?
