Just go with me a minute here. What about the possibility that the delay is a manufacturing issue and not a software or server issue?
We know there will be a huge surge in orders when the update drops. We know several resellers have run out of stock at various times the past few weeks. We know if there are shortages and prices rise the resellers will profit from that not Gateway. It is in Gateways best interest to have plenty of supply on hand for the resellers. The cat and mouse game will continue and Nintendo is likely to issue an update with a week or two of the Gateway release, thus cutting off eshop access until Gateway updates emunand support yet again. If there is a shortage of supply, many may again turn to the competition instead of purchasing Gateway. Gateway is not Apple and can't just command the Chinese factories to bend over backwards for them.
I suppose it does not really matter why Gateway keeps stalling, but the reasons we keep speculating about may be something else.
Thoughts?
