True, but just get your hands on one. Start prototyping and then prepare for the actual mass-production.

The thing is that the RasPi foundation is licensing the design to other vendors that (will) produce the device themselves.
Currently everything is still just in a start-up phase. The hype is a bit overblown I guess, but I think it's still a device to look out for.

The biggest problem for the near future is availability.  One vendor
sent an email to say the R-Pi would be shipping soon!  and by "soon!"
it meant 2 months away.

At this point, if you want 100 of them, that's about 1% of their
supply, and I'd expect they're swamped with orders for months to come.
 It's going to be hard to get very many of them.

My guess: It should work well for the price and specs as long as you
can wait 6 or so months.
