I want one! Surely, ASRock and ASUS must have them in the pipeline.

No long term or lasting market exists for AMD, it's all about Intel and ramping up for Haswell, then Broadwell, then Skylake, then Skymont. Anything else is a waste of effort, time and attention.
superbizz has the asrock fm2 itx board instock for $104 shipped: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=mb-f2a75ix
I don't know if I would trust Zotac quality, but they do look nice from a feature perspective.
Edit: Newegg review of the ASrock board mentions two of the ITX boards blowing the same capacitor. Newegg no longer carrying that board. Coincidence?

I've used plenty of Zotac products. They're not the greatest by any means, but I've never had one fail any more than any other hardware vendor. They've shown the same track record in my experience as Gigabyte and Asus.
As you can read on the internet the power supply chips on the board are overheated when gaming. This is how I solved the FM2A75M-ITX heat poroblem.
Running Prime 95 + Furmark =111W(A4-5300) power usage and the temps don't get over 70C on the small heatsinks. CPU temp=48C. Bios 1.90
Zap reported that at least one, if not two, of his Zotac boards got flaky after a while.
&It's the only form factor that makes sense for Trinity, so why do none of the OEMs have it on offer for the launch? ASRock has a product page but no existence in the channel yet.

For my i7-3770k, a 77W TDP SKU, at 3.9GHz LinX loaded the chip uses 66W.
For my FX-8350, a 125W TDP SKU, at 4GHz LinX loaded the chip uses ~195W.
I'm wondering if it is too difficult to supply the AMD APUs with enough power in the limited PCB size of mini ITX?
