<p>There's been a manufacturing problem with the Raspberry Pi. They managed to fit the wrong Ethernet ports on the first batch and they don't work. They've been recalled and are getting fixed now wherever the factory is. I'd guess China. That's seriously added to the delay though. A lot of people are pissed off about it.</p>

Lucky you, I couldn't even place one. They emailed me the link to do so,<br>
but the checkout page kept saying I hadn't completed all the fields (I<br>
had) and then went back to the "planned maintenance" page we saw on<br>
launch day.<br>
