True, but just get your hands on one. Start prototyping and then prepare for the actual mass-production.
The thing is that the RasPi foundation is licensing the design to other vendors that (will) produce the device themselves. Currently everything is still just in a start-up phase. The hype is a bit overblown I guess, but I think it's still a device to look out for.
