Developer units of Android based gaming console on-a-stick GameStick have already been shipped but, the units meant for early Kickstarter backers have been delayed by two months and will now ship by late June (http://paritynews.com/hardware/item/936-gamestick-dev-units-shipped-early-backer-consoles-delayed-to-june), PlayJam has revealed. The reason, according to PlayJam, is that the consoles would require stronger tooling as compared to silicon based moulds of the dev consoles, which would be finished sometime by June 10. Further, because of the sheer increase in the number of units, PlayJam has said that it won't be able to afford the air freight (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/872297630/gamestick-the-most-portable-tv-games-console-ever/posts/447537) and will be going for sea freight instead, which will delay the shipments to June.
