Raspberry Pi Production Delayed By Factory's Assembly Flub

[wraggster]

The first shipment of Raspberry Pi devices has been delayed (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/education/373432/raspberry-pi-delayed-by-manufacturing-hiccup), after the factory manufacturing the cheap educational computer used non-magnetic jacks instead of ones with integrated magnetics (http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/781). The problem is already nearly fixed, but new jacks need to be sourced for subsequent shipments, so those could be delayed slightly. 'It's inevitable, isn't it — you're freewheeling along perfectly happily and then you get a puncture,' said spokeswoman Liz Upton, apologizing for the delay."
