There was a 4004 based computer developed in 1972 that was released before
the Micral called the Comstar 4. It's not very well known but it was
written about in the ACM and the Computer History Museum has a copy of
their sales manual

And looking beyond the Great American barrier ;-) there was the MICRAL N,
much earlier than the MITS, and considered as the first complete
commercial microprocessor based computer, i.e. not a kit and available to
normal customers.
