Ming Thein explains why Hasselblad is late with the X1D delivery:

At this point, I’ve been told that a decision has been made to reorganise the production facility to cope with much higher volumes than were initially anticipated (even so, the back order list is expected to extend into early next year). This reorganisation is currently in progress and means delivery of the first cameras is now expected late November. Just passing along what I know.

In the meantime you can check out his latest X1D image samples posted at Hasselblad.com. And here is a new video too:
