Cyclone III speed grade on kit

[Altera_Forum]

How speed grade will be Cyclone III on Dev. Kit? Now it's available buy online only 8 speed grade. When EP3C25 faster will be available?

[Altera_Forum]

To my knowledge there is no plan to put a faster device on there. The faster devices will be available, if they aren't already, very soon. But not on this kit. Since the 3C25 devices right now are ES parts, the -7 and -6 parts probably won't roll out until the 3C25 is production status.

I have a Cyclone III kit it has -8 part

Are you saying the Cyclone III kit has actually shipped? 

 BuyAltera/DigiKey seemed to say it was 2 weeks out a month ago.

[Altera_Forum]

Yes, it's shipping.

thought i posted a reply to this....they canceled my order because it had been on backorder too long -- thats what i get for ordering the first day. Not that i got any mail or anything to this effect -- it just got canceled quietly I re-ordered and now i'm presumably at the back of the line. 

 maybe i'll buy a kit from xilinx at x-fest tomorrow :)
