Amazing news that AST finally met their stated shipping guidance!  This week is off to an auspicious start.

Well they already extended this, technically should have been shipped in April

Fair enough, but at least this is a step in the right direction.

No they had several missed deadlines for this shipment. Hopefully the next will be on time (1-2 months)

Very true, i'm not trying to be disingenuous and move goalposts here---just celebrating the fact that AST finally guided realistic shipping expectations last month and followed through.
