"Sorry I wasn't intending to imply anything by writing first quarter, just an honest mistake. Our official target is still "early 2012". Not sure if it makes too much difference one way or the other, but I don't want people to nitpick a mistake. "
Optimist :- "Yay! Feb 1st"
Pessimist :- "Oh shit April/May release"
Realist :- "FML! "
Edit: Actually THIS(scroll down to the blue post) pretty much confirms they are not going to make the Q1 deadline, hence the clarification.
