Wiz Release Date Known?

[centrlink]

Well, recently got an email from play-asia where I've pre-ordered a Wiz which has updated ETA from "Qtr 4" to Nov 2008 - wonder if they know something?

Of course, they may simply be making an educated guess and may not have heard anything official from GPH - but does anyone have a reliable estimated date they can share? I know they indicated about a month for the button change, so that would take us to about mid-Nov......

Cheers

We already knew it's been changed from October to November. Though not sure when in November.
This is due to GPH replacing the right Dpad with proper buttons.

December the 10th should be when they start shipping to distributors.

Thanks Craig - guess their schedule slipped a tad.

Cheers

10th dec, is when the devices *are* at the distributors according to EvilDragon.

Hmm, that's slightly disappointing, but then again, I'll have more money by that time. Does this time apply to preorders as well, ie. they'll ship those after 10.12?

10 of December - The Birth date of "DOOM"(1993)

Correct me if I am wrong, but Play-Asia is in um, Asia? So they can start shipping orders sooner than other distributors.

I doubt that it will be November, but whatever.

In theory yes because they are a lot closer so they can potentially ship faster than UK or gp2xstore. As was the case with the f200, people roughly got f200's a little bit faster than those who got them from gp2xstore or out of UK.

Source? It's good to see the date changing to sooner rather than later.
They must be really getting their act together.
