Are the ship dates / availability on Mouser reasonably accurate?
Trying to plan out prototyping and logistics of our next project and I only have 2 SoC’s on hand…
ST has a very long time for whatever reason. To is usual for them all things should get better in the future. If you are working on a commercial project, we can help you in planning if you contact us directly.

Right now I’m just prototyping stuff, there’s no pressing deadlines for commercial production at this point.
I was just trying to get an idea of availability so I can plan the schedule & order of operations on what I am doing over the next couple months on the long journey towards production.
I managed to destroy 3 of 5 G30’s when I was building prototype boards thurs & friday, some of that is learning curve (still making lots of dumb mistakes). With only 2 G80s on hand and my miserable percentage on soldering success, I might skip up to G120 as my next test. If I managed to screw up 40% of my G30’s when soldering them I imagine my success rate with the larger G80’s is going to be even worse.
I had 1 of 5 G30’s successfully reflow without issues - still working on improving that. So I had to hand solder them. 2 I succeeded with, 2 I failed with. So I got 3 working boards out of a planned 5. No biggie, that’s enough for now (and I have more G30’s on the way to re-attempt those remaining 2)
However I don’t want to spend the time and money to have G80 boards produced when I only have 2 chips on hand. I know that’s going to end in nothing short of disappointment, wounded pride, a screwed up self imposed time table, and much foul language. 
So I will move on to G120 and G400 then come back to G80 after they’re available again.
Oh, and thanks for the quick reply, Gus.
You know there is a thing called “the weekend” right?
One other thing - relating to commercial stuff.
You guys ever give tours?
I might be visiting some clients over in NW Indiana this fall, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to head up to Michigan. Would love to meet you guys and see how things are done.
Weekend? What is that? 
We love giving tours. We have top of the line setup that we proudly show off.
Weekend: Precursor to Mondays.

I can’t figure out if there is a direct or indirect correlation between this and successful projects.
Of course how would I know, I have only ever tired this approach.
Haha I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure good code and foul language go hand in hand. It’s worked for me for a few decades anyway. 
Look for the G80 stock to show up at Mouser within 2 weeks. 
Thanks for the heads up Mike
