Please, who has ever heard of a failure to deliver? On this site? Practically unheard of. 
Alas, my situation, as a person who preordered this, prevents me from thinking the unthinkable... until it becomes a reality, that is...
But I can keep you posted when GDP MicroPC comes with 16gb of ram

I got a GPD Micro PC for Christmas. It runs Linux very well. There's an Ubuntu-Mate ISO image on the GPD website that has all the bugs worked out, so you don't have to go on a device driver treasure hunt. Suspend works when you close the lid, etc. All very easy and smooth. I think this may be the best handheld gnu/Linux at the moment; I've given up on the Pyra.

For those who consider chroot is enough for their needs, the F(x)tec Proš also is a fantastic handheld and pocket device *with* telephony capability. So far it can only run full-fledged Linux distributions using chroot (namely sailfish_ubu_chroot by elros34), but it works fantastically well.

The N950 was pocketable and the best linux device since (almost) a decade ago.
Unluckily we had to wait that long until the Pro1 which is not as pocketable as a N950 but due to screen size maximus plebis has a (just) too big screen (for my feeling). I am eagerly waiting for a just a bit smaller one. That would be my daily dream linux device.

And good to see/read you on track,
and still a (silent) member!
I miss orrery on my main SFOS device

+1 for the Pro1. Even though not exactly officially like what's meant by a "gnu/linux machine" I have all my CLI linux things going in Android with Termux (and there are more and perhaps better possibilities). To me it's the ultimate handheld computer thing, couldn't be happier with it :-).

As far as I read about it the Pyra finally started shipping this month.
Sadly, I think the Pyra and neo900 show that one or two guys working in their spare time just can't make a handheld computer in the current environment. Even if the hardware issues get ironed out and the Pyra actually ships production units, how big a community is apt to form around a device with an old 32 bit CPU first released in 2012? I know the Pyra CPU is theoretically upgradable, but I doubt any upgrade boards will ever appear. I wish small projects like these could succeed - I pre-ordered both the neo900 and the Pyra - but they mostly haven't.
