Enso has spent the last few months continually claiming to be shipping their products despite a disheartening lack of actual customers claiming to have received their preordered products. Their products are precariously balanced between scam and vaporware status. A quick search for "enso zenpad scam" and "zenpad review" will show what I mean.
