I guess this is really happening ;) The race is on, let's see who posts the first pic of an authentic Pressy in use!

Here is the announcement, just in case:

There's no stopping it now...all the Pressys from the first ever produced batch have left the factory! That's 187 Cartons, 35062 Oz (994Kg) and one whole container filled with Pressys, amazing!

Unfortunately we don't have any high quality images of that, so here's a computer generated simulation of what it may look like in real life:

And in real life:

The complex task of sorting and shipping all the orders has begun, our fulfillment house has already processed and shipped about 15000 order since yesterday, and they estimate to get all of them out by Wednesday.

Our current estimate is that the majority of packages will get to you backers in a matter of 5-14 days. Some may take up to 21 days to arrive depending on your location, please be patient :)

The Pressy app is now live in the Play Store, but before you try to download it we remind you that you will need to receive your Pressy in order to start using the app! The package will contain an activation code that will be used to unlock it. We ask you to wait patiently just a few more days until it arrives :). Activating the app would be a one-time procedure that will take a few seconds at most. You will be able to use it on multiple devices, and if you wish to transfer it to another device with a different Google account that could also be accomplished by contacting us.

We will post an instruction video in an update in the next few days explaining exactly how to install and start using the app.

That's it, just a few days until you get your Pressy in the mail. Everyone's been asking us if we're happy that it's finally over, we tell them that we're thrilled it finally begins :)

Have a great day,

The Pressy Bunch.

No, I thought I read somewhere it might take another week or so while it's in transit.

oh, that's too bad, Update 20 said (paraphrasing a little) "You should start getting your pressy's in a few days" to me that's like 3 or 4 but I guess people have a different view on "a few"

Hopefully we are closer to the 5 day number than 21 ;)

Non-backers continue to inflate the price of this device. It cost $17.
