Earflappin, I would imagine it all depends on APL's current workload. Yes, it could take a month or two. I know that with the 3910s, APL was getting quite backlogged because of demand.
Rumor has it (and that's all it is) that the vast majority of his time will be spent solely on the NWO-1. And because of the price point, the NWO-1 should not be quite as in demand.
For those that have the patience for orders to be fulfilled on custom furniture, automobiles, homes, universal cd players, etc., it is well worth the wait.
I am not one of those with patience (or money), but it was certainly worth the wait.
-IMO
