Cactus V5 release
Gadget Infinity released the Cactus V5 on Monday and report selling out of kits later that day. In a statement they apologised for the inconvenience and have promised to make small batches available for sale every other weekday:
We are extremely excited about the high demand for V5. However, given that each V5 unit is inspected one-by-one to ensure quality and reliability, our supply level is insufficient to meet this unexpected high demand. In light of this, we are making efforts to increase our production supply, and hope to achieve this within the shortest timeframe possible.
For the time being, we will make a limited supply of V5 (Duo and Single) available on Gadget Infinity every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 00:00 PST. (08:00 GMT)
