I don't say they have "big hardware changes". Simply N810 8GB.

And I say they maybe thought N810 8GB was going to be out before christmas or maybe not or just after xmas, so they thought they could make us wait a litle bit longer so they had 500 users-developers with 8GB machines and not with underpowered 2GB ones.

I give a 95% of chances the problem is simply bureaucratic, but I like to dream about this 5% extra.
