CherryPad Orders Unfulfilled, Customers Antsy

The Android-powered CherryPad was supposed to amaze us all with its amazing features and low, low price of $188. That said, folks who ordered a CherryPad probably haven't seen it yet even though news of the device first appeared in September and most CherryPads should have shipped already. One reader, WCS, wrote us saying that he expected his pad to ship on October 15. That date rolled by and on October 20 he received a "tracking number" that tracks no existing package in the UPS, Fedex, DHL, or USPS databases. And then he waited. And waited. And waited. He writes:
The Cherrypal "Support" forum (if you can call it that: replies to questions are not permitted, except by the Administrator, and it appears to actually be a polling platform) is increasingly showing posts from people who have received neither their Cherrypad nor their tracking number. In response, the Administrator claims the delay was caused by a typhoon in the Philippines and that everything is fine and users in California and Italy have received their units. Oh, and the "forum" cleverly substitutes the word "issue" when one types "scam".
