The point is that if you can produce a rack mount that gives 1TH (for under 30,000 no less), you sell the 40GH for 30,000. Then after you've soaked that up, you change whatever you have to and sell the exact same hardware at 150GH for $30,000 8 months later. Rinse and repeat until you've worked up to the TH.

According to their previous promises on delivery time, If I start to save som money this month, I will have enough to buy some rig when they start to sell them 
Awsome news even if efficiency of the new device was only 1/2.
+9000 for plans to offer cheap SC Jalapeno so the small miners can still continue to diversify the network.

The difficulty will be astronomical once these come out....depending if they can be mass produced of course.

This products will be so real as the first announcement of BFL Single running @ 1 Gh/s with 20 W power consumption.
Looking at the numbers again, they make sense if you knock them down an order of magnitude.
This would mean 4 Jalapeno's would cost ~$600, and produce 1.4GH/s, and assuming it used two usb ports for power (as do some USB hard disks and other high power USB equipment) turn 1,400MH/J into 70MH/J, which seems believable to me for the generation jump, it also represents about a 50% jump in H/s/$ in addition to a huge jump in efficiency.

1) BitForce SC Jalapeno: a USB powered coffee warmer providing 3.5 GH/s, priced at under $149
1. A USB port can deliver 2.5 Watts.
2. This means they are claiming 1,400 MH/J.
3. The current record is under 25 MH/J, so they are claiming a 5600% improvement in power efficiency.
Does anybody here believe this?
I call bullshit.
Assuming the record holder is an FPGA. How much more efficient can ASIC's be than FPGA's?
||bit
Whos taking bets on when we will see the first asic from bfl in the wild?? I got 10 btc 6 months from now lol.
Holy.
Crap.
Crap.
Even if they think they can produce those numbers, they are just putting together mini rigs now. I'm betting that are no where close to having actual numbers.

Perhaps it also plugs into the wall ?
Let me bold that for you.

We have officially announced our upcoming ASIC based SHA256 products today. Here's the press release with most of the relevant details:
http://news.yahoo.com/butterfly-labs-announces-next-generation-asic-lineup-054626776.html
Note: We're currently focused on the shipment of our Mini Rig product and won't be able to field questions for a few days but we'll be back with answers to any questions.
Kind regards,
BFL

This strikes me as very odd. You could make a much higher profit margin. Why on earth would you price these this low?
You seem to have delivered, if a bit tardily, so far, but this just leaves me stunned. Pricing this low cannot make any sense for your bottom line.
They pretty much guaranteed market dominance. Maybe they want these devices sent out to as many people as possible to protect the network sooner from the possibility of interference. With all the venture capital they have received they will want to protect their investment and that means protecting bitcoin.
I have to keep reminding myself that it's not the first day of April, I'm torn between the fact that it's on a legitimate news site, and the facts that the main site has not been updated, you called it a "coffe warmer" and it has 3.5GH/s at 22MH/s/$.
Other than the obvious wondering when they'd be scheduled to ship and the details of the buyback program, what's the power use?

Nothing like paying for a press release on yahoo news before updating your frakking website. What are the expected ship times on those? LOL
Yeah, I'm kind of amazed that Yahoo just blindly reposts PRWeb's paid advertisements. Including those with mysteriously-omitted surnames. And unnamed VC's.
Finally
Reading now.

At what point can we pre-order?
Great another announcement which will probably end with empty promises. 4-6 months folks...
Wouldn't mind if it took 4-6 years...
