Ever seen The Money Pit? Two weeks. Everybody does everything in two weeks. But if Tom Hanks returns after those two weeks, and it is not finished, and he asks how long it will take, they'll respond "two weeks" again. And again. And again. Two weeks is synonymous with "when it's done, it's done".
Turn weeks into months, and you get the story of the iPAQ Wireless GSM/GPRS jacket. It has been released in Europe for quite some time now. Still, the US release is delayed. They postpone the Expected US Availability with Two Months all the time. It used to be August 2002, but now it *is* August 2002, so they turned that into October 2002. Check back on the linked site in two months, and we'll see if it's done. :) Source: dkuhn.
