I actually asked a couple days ago. Here was the response:

The Little Dot Balanced amplifier is currently still in the prototyping stages and we actually do not have a target availability date. We really want to take as much time as needed to make sure our foray into the Balanced world exceeds all expectations. When more information is available, I'll definitely post it on our forums. If I had to give a very broad estimate, I would say the Balanced Little Dot is about 4-6 months or so from general release. We haven't settled on a final build yet so shipping weight (and shipping fees) have not yet been determined.

i really fancy the idea of a balanced tube amp at that price (if possible), and they're using 6080/6AS7 and 6SN7 tubes. Perhaps they should have two options, one with a cheaper build for narrow wallets like me, and a hefty one for big budget folks. of course, some may disagree over logistics issues, but that's just my $0.02

My guess is this'll end up being a Christmas present.
