I spoke with Expansys today since their web site indicated that they could ship from stock and my order (10/30) was still back ordered. They said that all Video Cables that they received had were shipped and all new orders go to the end of the list. HTC is late on deliveries and missed a shipment of 500. They are expecting another order of 150 in the next several days. I am #6 on the list to be shipped, but there is an order for 100 in front of me.

Damn it. My status was ready to ship this morning, and was changed back to awaiting stock this evening.

I guess they are quite behind on the order.

I want to watch slingmobile on my LCD in my car nav system so bad lol.

It's a $22 cable..how much money do you really think they are making?! Let's say they shipped 500 cables yesterday and made $12 per cable.. That's only $6000. Nobody is retiring.

humm.. $12 profit per cable?

I would say the cable cost would be like $2 + $2 (overhead) = $4

$18-$19 Profit on single cable!

yeah I have to agree. Those cables cost at most $2 to make. Why do you think radio shack is still around. They make money off the little things they sell, like cables and batteries, thats where most of their profits come from.
