Any information/experience with Olive ONE

I saw the ad for this in the A-gon classifieds as I was updating my virtual system. IF this gizmo is as good as the maker claims it to be, at the price, it may free up my laptop for better uses. A cursory google search shows no reviews or independent feedback re user interface and audio quality.

Then the classified ad under media servers is certainly misleading. 2 days remaining in an auction for an item not yet existent?

Thanks Mofimadness. I went ahead and plucked down my $ to the startup. I'm not an early adopter for the most part. The Olive ONE looks, however, like the 2013 version of a Squeezebox Touch, which I have and very much like for the money, but sadly has been discontinued.

I've been very interested in the new Olive 4,5 & 6 shown on their website. After about 3 months the order button is still labeled "pre-order". I called Olive today & was told the company is in "transition" & the products are not available yet but will be "sometime in the third quarter". These new servers look like wonderful products but something seems odd here.
Is anyone familiar with this business model or have specific knowledge regarding the current state of Olive?
