Yeah they should have linked to the guys actually shipping product... Butterfly said on their FB they are shipping next week apparently. But who knows w/ them
BFL has (edit) not been (/edit) know to ship -but I can confirm that people have gotten their orders!- becuase It's taken some time as they've had problems with getting ASIC's. They supposedly will start sending them out at mid april (15th) which is tomorrow, so I'm going to wait and see what happens. If they do ship then I'll place my order.
They probably mentioned BFL because they're currently accepting orders and also have had more media attention because of the whole scam controversy.
They've been accepting orders for 7-8 months and almost always state they'll ship 'any day now'.
