You clearly do not understand how kickstarter works.
... when you buy into a kickstarter project (like many of us did here) you are NOT buying a product from IBM. You are INVESTING in the future; helping a startup company get off the ground with a new idea.
You also clearly don't have a clue about how the production process works for these boards... it is an extremely expensive endeavor; everything from parts availability to line shortages, to shipping logistics (parts and finished products) and then all the engineering foibles and everything else (its really amazing that these folks have performed as well as they have! Give 'em a brake.
I'm just happy to see the boards going out, units are being sold, and their team is keeping up with things fairly well. Just remember, its a start-up company, not a finished product with years of experience behind them. Frankly anyone should expect that the Raspberry PI Foundation would be miles ahead (they've had a four year head-start ! ) The PineA64 will get there too... and YOU get to be part of that success, just like the rest of us who invested, so smile and be happy.
Geeze, I'm guessing you spend more in beer every month than you have invested here... lighten up already.
