While it is very very good (great!) news to hear, what is not clear in the email is when it will actually be shipped. The statement “I want to send it to you right now. Well, in up to 6 weeks…” can mean a couple of things.

Does this intend to mean that they will ship it out within 6 weeks or you will receive it in 6 weeks? The disclaimer “depending on where you live” would seem to suggest “within 6 weeks” is the expected receive date because the shipping destination should not affect when it leaves the factory, aside from the fact that GF has already said that international customers may receive their units later. And GF has a good idea whether a given buyer is outside of the US or not so international buyers should be getting a different email.

Anyway, I am happy to hear that it’s Real Soon Now that people will be getting their hands on production units. They did not offer a disclaimer that the 6 weeks was good unless more issues that have to be addressed pop up so they must be comfortable that full production is starting soon. Yes, this is great news.
