Beside the online Apple store told be 3-4 weeks. But they are going to be in stores on the 10th??? Sorry Apple.</STRONG>
First off, the Apple store estimations in my experience have hardly been accurate either direction. I've had things arrive overnight that are marked as a week behind, and things in stock take a week. Anyway, the Apple store will probably start shipping along with the other retail stock.
As far as the Nomad Jukebox goes- I would take a bit to rethink it. I've owned one for a while and here are my biggest problems with it:
-No "All Songs" listing
-Slow user interface (especially while music is playing)
-Big, unwieldy
-Battery life of ~3 hours (uses 4 AA size NIMHs that aren't near as efficient as li-ion)
-Mac versions of firmware updates lag behind the Windows ones significantly
I was once against the iPod, saying its just another mp3 player, but as I look back at my frustrations with the Jukebox- I realize that Apple has addressed a whole lot of things that people (including myself) wouldn't notice for a while.
