On the Kickstarter, their goal was about $31,000. They got over $1.7 million. That's over 50 times the expected amount of interest.
The Raspberry Pi's original debut had the same sort of problem (though on a smaller scale; they had one product to deal with instead of several). It's extremely hard (or at least time intensive) to ramp up production rate of electronics once you already have it set. Especially when you have idiots demanding special treatment, sapping away from their efforts to improve the situation.
Yawn... yes, yes, yes, it's all very easy to be magnanimous when you've already got what you've paid for. I know WHY Pine say they have delayed shipping. I also know that they've said that all Kickstarter orders would be fulfilled before Store orders go out, which is not the case. There are Store orders going out now, before I get my Kickstarter reward. Some of us are being screwed and nobody from Pine wants to explain why.
