"by the end of this calendar year", WHAT?

They still have pre order date on Oct 22 though...

Honestly it does not surprise me one bit. And the reason why is because it is very likely running AMLogic based Firmware that includes the buggy new AMLogic Linux Kernel.

JBL I would say actually did some testing and found serious bugs, probably similar to what you see on the Mi Box. And did not want expensive Soundbars returned to stores 'en mass, so delayed the product.

Does anyone know whether Google or JBL will be responsible for pushing updates to this product?

Glad it didn't put in a preorder. B&H would be holding on to my money for at least until next calendar year!

Is it any surprise? Oreo on AndroidTV is a dumpster fire. They have likely just figured that out
