"Virtual Push"? - 16 weeks?

Well it's been real interesting taking in feedback from the few Push owners out there and whereas it seems to be a long way from perfect it does seem the device has a serious future as a potent music production tool - when I can actually get hold of one!
We really think 16 weeks for more recent orders (like mine - pre-paid in full about 2 weeks ago) is realistic?
I gather that Akai may have had to concentrate on fulfilling another major brands hardware sub-contract which is considerably bigger than a back order for countless frustrated would-be Push owners!
Apart from the poor LED colouration (with a workround provided by a seriously helpful enthusiast here - thank you) and one or two other niggles it sounds to be a solid usable bit of kit but one that is waiting for some enhanced software to really deliver the ultimate control surface (or instrument if you prefer). Seems a bit odd it is coming from a 3rd party ( PXT_Live - great job) but hey that's cool too. Future assured.
But still 16 weeks? Surely we got a little nearer, - Ableton?
