i haven't fanatically followed their forums, but they are shipping *some* units, and they did get their CE and FCC certifications: http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-43262/l/updated-29-march-frequently-asked-questions-about-raspberry-pi. There are people who've received their orders, how many, I don't know.
I may have misstated when I said they actually sold 100k units as opposed to those who expressed interest in purchasing them - 100k was the number being thrown around for "expressed interest" or "orders".
As far as shipping? I know there's a huge backlog and I've no idea how long it'll take to fulfill it regardless if the person actually placed an order or merely expressed interest in it, but there are *some* people getting their orders, and the regulatory stuff is no longer in the way. Now it's just getting the things actually manufactured and shipped, far as I know.
