Oh, believe me I looked EVERYWHERE as I have been made a fool in the past. When I ordered this morning there was no indication that it was backordered. In fact quite the opposite, they touted first vendor to have in hand ready to ship etc. That wording is still there.

Now they have added the note in the description reading:
Attention on May 5th we have sold all of our inventory. This Item is now backordered. We will have quanitty no later than march 15th. Place your order now at this special price and you will be top of our list to get yours as soon as we get them back in. We are offering a special price now just for preorders....price will go up after we get inventory in stock.
They have also added other indicators such as (backordered) after the name of the device and such. I am
NOT saying that they are being misleading at this point and they probably updated the site as soon as they realized they had over-sold. I am just really surprised that their site doesn't have the ability to track inventory and change to "Out of Stock, Back-Ordered, etc" when the inventory has been exhausted. I ordered at about 6:30 am Pacific time so the shop wasn't open yet I assume. They might still be working as well considering they are in CA.
I still think the $65 plus shipping I paid was a good deal, just really sucks that I won't get it as soon as I thought and the price went down $5 more. I just received an email response while typing this. I will quote it below. I am still going to keep the order, taking it as a sign that I need to gain more patience.
"Hi James, there was a high volume of abandoned cart recovery that threw the whole system off (I had set quantity and as soon as the quantity is reached it changed to pre-order status). If this doesn't work out for you please let me know and I will gladly issue a refund, and I apologize for the confusion. I lowered the price to make up for the fact that I ran out of inventory and some orders were changed to 'pre-order' status"
