I am sure that when the Udoo team is sure they know the date they will announce it. It is a new product so nothing is sure until it is ready.....
Hi everybody, @waltervl: thank you very much for answering "while I'm away" (just to quote a UDOO Ks video)! You are awesome @Viktor: with "December 2016" we mean "in December 2016" or "within the end of December 2016"; speaking of UDOO X86 we have recognized a problem at boot, as we said in the latest update (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/udoo/udoo-x86-the-most-powerful-maker-board-ever/posts/1673080), so we currently have a 2-weeks delay on our schedule. We are working not to incur in any delay for what concerns shippings. When we will have more precise news I'll update you via Kickstarter and on this forum. Long story short: we will ship to those who have preordered within the end of December 2016, with eventually a delay of a couple of weeks.
