watching with interest
well if you can run them on a hub and make them hash at 4gh-5gh they will sell fast. I want some. 4 or 6 or 8 depends on price.
I think it's high time someone started making hub specifically for this...
there are hubs that can do this. gearmo makes one

you can put a better psu brick and you would have a good setup. these are nice units.
Sounds very interesting pending prices !
My hubs are ready for this

About pricing, for now we can only repeat what is in OP:
This information is also statement in OP:
Q1 of 2014? That makes no sense. You guys could make a lot more coin/$ getting thing hashing quicker.
When are they expected to come ?
This information is also statement in OP:

1-5.11.2013 - Projected time when we will accept orders, and ship miners immediately.
DOH
Ok,November 1-5 2013 
I forget that some folks put the days first & months second 
My bad 
I thought they erred on the year too

Whats the estimated cost per unit ?

Great work! way to raise the bar

How many units will you have when you start the sell and how much will they be? Can we talk into me buying your whole stock and reselling it? =)
It looks to me like the heatsinks are too thick to be able to fill all slots on most USB hubs.
Highly doubt they designed these to not work in hubs.
You've misunderstood the meaning of my post. Let's say you have a hub with 10 Erupters in it, because of the thick heatsinks you can only get 5 of these devices in the same hub... just like the Red Fury sticks.
The heatsink has a thickness of 10 mm. I
have a USB hub here with 16 mm slot pitch,
so there should be no problem.

Great news! Thanks intron.

Are these using 2.5 watts type of USB or new USB 3 or 4 or whatever that can crank way more power at them?
The hardware has different solder jumper options. They can be made for 2.5W level, and I've gotten close to 4 GH/sec that way. But I expect most people would prefer to use a bit more power, and stick them in a powered hub. The 2.5W/4GH setting can still be useful though. It's a nice introduction to bitcoins and bitcoin mining that doesn't require any additional investments or setups.

Very cool,so won't be ready till 1st quater 2014 
Have to see the network speed by then............4-6 Petahash at least is my guess 
Yeah,price can't be much more than 1BTC to make em worthwhile,at least from profit perspective
But,very cool device,nonetheless

I suspect it will be like Erupters. BTC1.99 initially, then 1,0.5,0.25,0.125, 0.0675 etc.
Cool to have one or two, just for testing and stuff. But I suspect they will be priced at 90% "linear ROI".
4-6 PH? Maybe. It is amazing that the network hashing increases by ~30% every 10 days or so. Assuming we will hit 1750 TH around Oct 15th.
Here is what the future will look like at 30% increase on every step up:
1750
2275 Nov
2958
3845
4998 Dec
6498
8447
10981 Jan
14275
We should get some flattening of that curve at some point. Hard to believe that we'll be getting 4 PH jumps in 10-14 days sometime in January/February. But I guess it is possible, if there will be 2TH Avalon like boxes for $1000, individuals will buy 5-10, and you'll get 4 PH+ jumps every 2036 blocks.
Regardless, they are cute and I'd buy one or two.
The chips at cost are $30USD each, so they have $60 in chip costs.
Expect the price to be between BTC1.0 and BTC1.5
at $60 for the chips don't expect the price to go much lower than BTC.90 long term
Remember the block erupters got cheap because they were the OEM of the chips, if you are reselling bitfurys then you can't get much better a price.
It looks to me like the heatsinks are too thick to be able to fill all slots on most USB hubs.
Congrats guys. Looking forward to picking up a few.
