Bob's admitted that it's "a bit behind schedule" on a comment on the Indiegogo campaign.

Although we are a bit behind schedule, We certainly don't expect a substantial delay like that! I'm sorry your first crowdfunding experience was not a positive one.
That was in response to someone mentioning a project that was 2 years late, so perhaps "a delay like that" can be a year
But I'm being cynical, I expect they'll only be a few months late.
The million dollar question is what is their game plan once they ship?
They know full well the product isn't going to deliver as promised, and that countless people are going to test it up the wazoo and make videos and blog and forum posts etc. They'll test it with the exact GPS, with Probes The Monkey, and with countless products someone will collate into a spreadsheet. They'll publish full efficiency performance curves, and it wouldn't surprise me if someone etches away the die and figures out what it is.
It will be a marketing disaster, and if they haven't gotten a huge Walmart or some other deal by then, then the products name will likely be mud.
Their plan up until this point has been "no one has tested it, so all these bloggers are full of crap, trust us". But once all and sundry has tested it and the real data is in, what's left?
They never even shipped those promised "media test kits".
Of course the cynical answer will be they will never ship until they have the consumer deal they want, or the company gets bought, or whatever their ultimate play is, but I think they will grudgingly ship before that.
