Does anyone know when to expect the Xserve Dual gig to start shipping?

Thanx

Apple has been fairly good compared to other computer companies at meeting their shipment goals. I know they have been behind original estimates from time to time but not as bad as I have seen with other items, especially hot new peripherals. Unfortunately this is the only information available right now. Apple retailers, the Apple store, and people on the phones at Apple all quote this same information. If you needed to put a date on things, I would expect to see people start recieving them starting July 5 with the bulk of initial orders coming the week of july 8.

I noticed that if you added an Xserve to your shopping cart with the applecare services the server would have a ship date of June and the applecare had a ship date of 25 days. Today that changed to the server still having a ship date of June but the Applecare went to 5 days from 25. I hope that means something. I know our artists are whining every day about how slow the old server is and I cannot wait to switch it out for something new and fast.

Well, here's to hoping I'll see that shipment notification in my email soon.
