-- This is a unique, low-volume device provided by a company with a limited record of hardware design. Quality of the device is _not_ assured.

-- Sailfish is a mobile OS just now getting off the ground. Apps are limited, bugs are likely.

This is really a device meant for people comfortable with dealing with bleeding-edge technology, and the problems that come along with it...

Wait what? That's not bleeding tech. Bleeding tech should never mean buggy. Especially if it aims to replace something, otherwise why would you exchange something where bugs already fixed to something where they even not found — isn't it called reinventing the wheel?
Edit:
my point is bleeding edge is to improve old tech. It can be buggy, but as any mature software can still have bugs. But everytime we associate bleeding tech with bugs and it's not right and not as should be. So it's not even an excuse
Edit end
And stop with limited resources and blah blah blah about campaigns. Yes, there are few shady failures, but there are a lot of examples of people doing it properly with less resources.

Some update on the Spreadsheet that might include mild privacy concerns.
Thanks to Prometheus and VlaoMaos effort we now have a reliable and easy to access source for IGG backer number.
Unifying both spreadsheets could associate your enterd username (maybe TMO/TWTR/TJC) with your realname if provided in the IGG Backer.txt.

I ran a loose regular expression assisted injection to link backer.txt and the spreadsheet for users that gave similar names in both sheets.

Everyone affected please check and notice me if you are concerned, i will anonymize or delete your records instantly on your command.

Anyone intersted in completing his record with IGG# nevertheless, may also ping me again (pm or tabletpre at mosushi dot com), i'll gladly update.

My proposal for anonymization would be changing your given username to the backer.txt igg# number only, as this is public on IGG site already.

Doesn't make much sense to me as not even all who did complete their orders from the 1st wave of invitations have got their tablets yet. Wouldn't it make sense to "release reservations" only after the first wave has been processed? I mean those who ordered immediately on Sept. 22nd.

I think that is due different models (32 vs 64 GB). My guess is that in the first run they only produced 64 GB models.

Should the order status change from Paid to something else when the tablet is shipped? I paid the taxes on mine 22/9 and haven't heard anything since.

According to attah at TJC status changes from paid to shipped in the store. There has been reports that it might take a day or two for the status to update after the tablet has been shipped.

This isn't pretty. We are still waiting for completion of first batch.

There should certainly be no trouble with the hardware. Whether there exists software support for the device, however, is the question. I'm not sure there is good Linux support for Blackgold devices... They do seem to have a Linux driver, but no clue how well it works.
