There is no "official" anything. This is not a company and we do not have an almighty dictator to make "official" decisions. This is a community project and it's up to you to contribute.
What he said. You want an official GUI (or anything else) on a different schedule, implement one or pay someone to implement one and then do this:

That's funny, it sure looks to me like it does exist in the Official Github Repo:
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/tree/master/src/blockchain_dbHave you contributed to helping to test it, or anything else, e-coinomist?
@Johnny he is right, and wrong on this. Indeed no company, but nevertheless something next best thing to beeing official. Like a download link at the head of the Announcement Thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6382239@smooth "implement one or pay someone" is doable, but futile. So many have done before, did not made it into beeing "the official GUI" and never will. I was most impressed by some AutoIt scripted variant, works only on Windows desktop, a niche solution. Would personally prefer a HTML wallet sitting on top of Kozi's PHP interface, connecting to the official binaries. Visions of a hardware device carrying that, think Trezor, nudging you. Display on top of case for communicating one time passwords. This could be a community project
"anything else", just beeing in the progress of tackling this "but no GUI" discussion, trying to strangle that
easier to fight a hydra.
Smooth, your thoughts on "Electrum, Multibit, Mycelium, Breadwallet, Blockchain.info, Coinbase, Circle, and I'm probably forgetting some." are spot on and missing the core argument at the same moment. There is no GUI! People been used to see a version number like 0.8.x on their official Bitcoin wallet. A first preview release version 0.1alpha of the soon to come official Monero GUI, featuring an ability to see your payment address and pasting that into clipboard for easy entry into exchanger withdrawal requests ... could get "there is no GUI" to a grinding halt immediately.
There is no other solution than releasing something official.
PS: Beagleboard xM ... would only cost a quarter from that of a PandaBoard, but features only half of RAM ... depends upon the display connectivity. Case should be cheap 3D printed plastic at first. Open design for hardware, OS, software, casing. First inofficial hardware wallet, that tingles in my ears
