New assembly methods and training. Also, don't you have to re-go through FCC certification if you change the case material.

I agree. This is a major change. and we were supposed to be getting them this month or next month.. and since they're changing the case, they can't have produced many. The Astak Mentors don't seem to be coming any time soon, if at all.. I'm really starting to lose confidence in this.
