Sorry, for jumping to assumptions (that wasn't my intent). But if we
are only going by "what we know" then I would have ordered my GTA-01
about 3 months ago...oh wait.
There are so little facts (from official sources) that we have no idea
what is going on. I was basing my statement on the speculation that has
been running rampant through the message boards that the 01's are not
going to be mass produced since they are under powered and don't have
features that some (several) people have called "deal breakers". Pretty
much as far as I'm concerned the GTA-01 *is* vaporware. Considering how
much improved the (again speculated) GTA-02's will be outside of the few
that "just can't wait" I don't see it being a cost effective platform
for FIC to mass produce, considering the low purchase numbers.
So yeah, you can call me on a GTA-01 (does that even work yet) or even
take pictures of one dissected beside a copy of todays New York Times,
but unless one is shipped to me free, I doubt that I will ever touch (or
even see) one.

There is pretty much no reason to assume this, so you're just pulling it
out of a hat. Not a bad place to pull out guesses, but as far as "as far
as we know" _really_ goes, GTA-01s will be sold, because that was the
plan, we've heard nothing to contradict the plan, and they "to the best
of our knowledge" already have a bunch of them waiting to be ready to be
sold. Upgrading the hardware for mass market was also planned for a long
while, so that they have GTA-02 plans and (apparently) even engineering
samples is nothing to be surprised about at this point.
In short, assuming that plans wrt. selling GTA-01 have changed somehow
due to the delays is totally unwarranted. You're not qualified to jump
to assumptions here.
