I forgot about that rumor! It does say the second factory would start making them in November. I wonder if we’ll see any change in availability in the coming weeks. Usually I’d get an istock notification once a week but I haven’t seen one his week.
I think they are really just scarce— last istocknow notification I got the available devices stayed available for a number of hours. (I might have pulled the trigger but I had budget considerations at the time).
