I mention this only because, as his note on the site indicates, he's trying to keep up with demand for the product and doesn't want to promise immediate shipment when he can't deliver it. (I've ordered several models from iFaraday and they've all arrived within three days.)
If you're interested in the product I'd recommend checking the website again in a week or so or sending an email asking when he expects other models to begin shipping again. I suspect it will be shortly.
By the way, you may find the $26 price for the model he's shipping to be extravagant but imo it's worth every penny for writing and drawing. Almost any capacitive stylus will work for button pushing but if you want to write on a capacitive screen it requires considerable practice and a good tool. Cheaper styli typically fail on that score.

Personally, I do not consider $26, or more, to be at all extravagant for a well-designed, well-made stylus -- I am happy to pay it. The only point of my comment was that, from a consumer standpoint, availability limited to only one of his various models is not ideal. It is good to know, however, that he has a continuous flow of orders and the shortage is temporary.
I have just about given up trying to find the ultimate stylus for note-taking on my Xoom and Fire. And then there is the problem with decent software.
