Oh my. For Google "Coming Soon" is the same as "Sold Out", with the difference that they'll keep the customers in the dark with what's actually happening.
Honestly, it was horrible. They don't give a proper statement, they didn't do anything, all they came up with were stupid excuses. I'm done with that Store unless they fix all their problems, but seeing as they messed it up a second time after the Nexus 7 debacle, I don't have any faith in Google right now.
