about release date: we're inmidst the make of proto_V2 which will take 3..4 months total unless things speed up. This time span needed is longer than we originally expected and partially caused by scheduling our job at GDC who got other jobs to accomplish as well, and nevertheless Nik does an awesome job at delivering excellent work in a shorter time than announced. Again a big 'Thanks!' here for this.
Anyway: Proto_V2 in January. Then another 2..4 months on top for proto_V3. (all this assuming we get lots of support with testing/validating the prototypes from community) And when we're lucky we can start ordering phase then and start "mass" production after 4 weeks for collecting orders and money. This would start Q2/2015 the earliest then, which is actually in line with our previously announced date Q4/2014 + roundabout 6 months we lost in reorganization. When however we run into new obstacles, this could cause new delays, as usual. The Q2/15 is the earliest possible date.
Again sorry for the delays the reorg caused. I already admitted we failed to perform optimal on this particular detail. And sorry for keeping the incorrect Q4 for quite some time too long, we didn't manage to edit the webpage.

cheers
