Truly sorry about cutting the discussion short. I am taking JackRabiit's advice and creating a poll with this discussion.

Topic: Which ASIC device will ship first? (Read 1529 times)
I think you should state your reason why you believe this, so we get a feel for how everyone feels.
I think Avalon for the simple reason of his location to factory's and cheap materials

As far as I can see. bASIC from BTCFPGA will be the first ones shipped.
i think avalon is planned to ship on 14 january. bfl ans basic on beginning of december..
I figured I would create a central thread to track progress of ASIC-based mining devices as we get closer. Post any new and relevant updates you find about any of the ASICs being developed.
It seems there are several devices that are on an almost even playing field for who may ship first. First shipments are incredibly important to the other companies because these will be much more profitable devices especially if other companies aren't far behind. There are also a lot of orders at stake.
