They still haven't solved the part issue, and when/if they finally do, it will take a few months before it reaches re-sellers. Taking into consideration we're going into the holidays, and traditionally work comes to a complete standstill at that time, it's very easy to assume that at Q1 2013 is the goal.
If this concept camera gets mass produced, it's likely going to be a Jan/Feb release for those that ordered back in April (then who knows what will happen at NAB).
That's the best case scenario that I can imagine. I also think it's very likely that we'll hear that "good news, we improved the BMC!" and then this updated internals unit will get a 2013 release date. Could be spun with a "we listened to our customers" reasoning, while upping the price and keeping the pre-order spots.
I don't know, but if I don't get it by Christmas I'm going to cancel.
I found out from my supplier today that I am in position 67 on the preorder list. When I ordered back at the end of May I was 97... I had slipped down to 75 before the announcement of the MFT version. Food for thought.
