MSI Wind: Delayed. Again.

Was there another fire I don't know about? MSI is now 0 for 2 on Wind release dates. The company originally stated its Intel Atom-based mininotebook would start shipping on June 16 and then cited the LG Chem fire as it pushed back the release date until today. Well, June 27 has arrived and still no Wind.
MSI told Crave that it hopes to have an update next week about when it might start shipping the thing, but Engadget reports that those with an MSI Wind on preorder received word from MSI that it expects the first shipment to arrive the week of July 7. And that it will overnight the Wind to you at no additional charge.
I'm starting to get Medison Celebrity flashbacks.
