Can we just take a step back and breathe for a moment here?
Just relax and give 'em a minute, will ya?

The problem I had with this was not that they missed a deadline, which I understand happens from time to time and does not necessarily involve urine-soaked Cheerios and dogs who've undergone "percussive maintenance", nor indeed any intentional acts of malevolence at all.
The frustrating/worrying aspect here was that they missed a deadline without any comment after having not said a word (that I could find) for over a month. Their promised store had only the same old "Coming soon..." message. The updated (to paraphrase) "We're almost ready, come back again in a week!" message they have now would have been quite sufficient, but there was absolutely nothing to indicate any awareness that their own, self-set deadline had come and gone.
Now that there is a sign of life, I'm personally not going to hold the delay against them. Unfortunately, though, in the meantime my conviction that this was going to be my imprudent impulse purchase for the year has wavered for only peripherally related reasons (i.e. learning, during my frantic Alex info-searches, of a different display tech that might be available later this year).
