CherryPad...Where are thou?

It's been a week since I placed my order for the Cherrypad from Zecozi and I'm not sure how close I am to actually receiving it. After my order status hadn't changed for several days I sent an email to the company about my order and received this reply:

Dear Customer:

The demand and overwhelming response for orders is amazing and appreciate the opportunity to be your computing supplier of choice.

So for now I won't panic just yet, in spite of some of the more disturbing things I've been reading about Cherrypal. I will choose instead to be optimistic and believe the best about people.
