I thought I saw a post from the foundation saying 10,000 more per week but according to this:

http://betanews.com/2016/04/14/raspberr ... ilability/

the goal is 50,000 a month through the end of the year or til demand is met.

But I can't find the post I thought I had read from the foundation...

I read there would be 250,000 for this month and 50,000 per week until the demand was met.

However, since they're now in active production, it shouldn't take too long for the next batch.
They will soon be back, and in greater numbers. :D
I looked around a little but can't find my source again, but I heard a rumor that they're selling another (either 20k or 200k, can't remember which) set of RPi0 every monday until supply catches up with demand.
Interesting, so that means anyone who's waiting doesn't have to wait very long. :)

That's the idea. The same source (I really need to find this paper again) was saying that the reason it was so under-produced was because immediately after release the team focused on rpi3 and put all of their attention and resources in it, sort of neglecting rpi0. Now that it is released, they can juggle more.

All six of mine arrived. I know I'm that jerk that ordered multiple, but they're all going into gameboy zeros for friends and family.
I won't be shirking them for a higher price.
