Just to let you know that www.logitech.co.uk have 11 in stock - was 12 until I ordered mine - and they are now shipping.

If you mean the button on the Logitech website, that's supposed to send out an automated email when the button is changed to Add to cart.

Re: [slim] Duet release date?
I'm signed for notification too, but nothing (and isn't a spam problem, sure!). My regret is that here, in Italy, the Duet isn't distribuited too: my hifi-store say to me the Duet will came (maybe) for the mid-April :-( At the end I'm disappointed that I can't no more buy directly from SlimDevices (as I did when SlimDevices wasn't acquired and distribuited by Logitech). Not to speak about the change rate USD=Eur, 399USD are actually 255 Euros: put it on what You want for taxes, shipping, etc. etc. but now I could use my Duet.

Having said this, I am dismayed at the release date slipping so far, but being a software release manager, I understand the obstacles, and I frankly would like this thing to be a close to perfect as can be (at least from the hardware perspective) before it ships.
