Yeah - this is my complaint. I really want a Pi-zero. Or ten, really. I want to be able to put these in all sorts of places where a $40 board wouldn't make sense. But you can't get a Pi-zero for love or for money right now. The excuse that's given on the Pi foundation forums is that they're prioritizing education production? But what exactly is the hold-up? Is it really that hard to get time on a pick-and-place machine in China? Is order fulfillment scaling badly somehow? Is the supply of the Broadcom chip low right now? I want the Pi-zero, and right now it's nothing but vapor-ware!
