No defined date. Think they are talking 4 to 6 weeks, but I want the full accessory pack to, which you can't pre order and just says coming soon next to it.
There's no rush for it tbh, it'll just be one of those nice surprises when it turns up.
Not really got a role for it yet, maybe a media player, torrent downloader,CCTV box though I have a dedicated pc for that.
For 30 quid, it's not exactly an expensive mistake. Might see if I can create a case and get it hooked up to a 3G dongle and play with one of those old gamecube portable screens. Totally not sure yet.
This has reminded me I have a y box 2 to build still

I must get some stuff on eBay or pull my finger out, damn you bf3 and sky sports!
The FTP cloud box gives more of an interest for me, to see what I can get it to do. If its just media, it's basically an enlarged storage device for the iPad and phone, with a way of easily sharing media locally or with a drop box. If I can get the portable apps running somehow, it'll mean none ipa files running on apple devices.
I've also seen a torrent of 12gb worth of iPad apps recently. Could be a smart way of getting round jail breaking your iPad.
Time will tell..... 4 to 6 lead time on that too!
