I got the last order in about 3 weeks turnaround, which is pretty good. Let me know how yours goes! On a side note, I tried charging my MP3 player with it and it worked great, although I need a larger heatsink for the regulator - it was HOT. The WootOff lights (the intended target) work great as well, with much less current and heat. For the reference of anyone reading this, it seems the iPhone will not charge without pullup resistors on the data lines. I'm adding space for those on a minor revision 2.1.
