The new (erm, 3 months old now!) Pro keyboard is available as a separate purchase item via the US Apple Store...but not from the UK Store. Why not?

Does anyone know why not *or* have these not shipped (separately) yet?

Mine got cancelled about a week after they told me that the reports on MacNN about the US ones being delayed/cancelled etc. were just 'silly rumours'. Since then, it's been the '4 keys not working' problem, 'a more serious problem with them' and 'The Big Guy won't let us have any'.
The usual UK Store rubbish basically.

Yep, heard this when I phoned the UK Apple Store, yesterday.

However...I phoned a local Apple dealer who told me that 'now and again companies require a machine without a keyboard [it's what he said!], so I should be able to get you one within a week'.

Perhaps people who just want a Pro keyboard, can live without the four media keys (like me), should contact their local dealer.

BTW, my local dealer can also get OEM Radeon's, SoundSticks and other 'only from Apple Store' products. Interesting.
