HELLLO??
The Latest price drop was DELAYED for more than 6-12 months until they sorted out the problems. They had budgeted for this cut a long time ago, but wanted to use the headstart they had, and stock in the channel to make sure they rid themselves of the problem.
Now that its sorted, and the new platform is being produced, it seams the only problem they have is shipping enough stock to market (hence stock shortages)
