That was the case for new orders 2 days after the announcement.

I assume people who ordered it sooner will get them sooner.

I just ordered a 512 Mb one from Circuit city I had a gift card so I got it for $79.00. They say they are shipping now when the order went thru, on the main page it says they expect them to ship by the 27th. We'll see. I was going to get the 1gb but $79 for a 512 is attractive. One thing i figure is I'll be using this for walking and for the car and for Poolside Parties into a sound system. I figure 6hours of music I can put the perfect mixes on there and actually hear the songs I want to hear, with 12 hours your less likely to hear everything. Anyhow I could always sell the 512 and get a 1GB at a later date. I think 120 songs in rotation is perfect.

I picked one up at the South Coast Plaza today after class, there was about 20 sitting pretty in the store, so i wouldn't worry about it being sold out too fast. I'm sure my bf will love is V-day gift, if i don't end up playing with it and falling in love with it.

So does this mean that stores which expected them in on the 22nd will now have to wait 2-3 and 3-4 weeks?

Ordered a 1GB shuffle 30 min after the keynote and got the shipping confirmation this morning. I picked standard shipping but FedEx says estimated delivery is the 24th.

I ordered the 1GB about two hours after MWSF and received my shipping information today. I chose standard ground shipping and it is supposed to arrive today!

I simply put my name on the list at the local Apple retail store. They called me a week later (1/26) and I picked up my 1gig Shuffle.

I put my name on the list a day after the Keynote at the Cherry Creek store and just got the call to pick my 1GB up last night. I did buy the 512mb from CompUSA on the saturday they were supposed to be available.

I walked into two Best Buys yesterday�the first one had 20+ of the 512mb; the second had 17 of the 1GB and a similar quantity of the 512mbs.

Needless to say, I cancelled my web order with Apple and bought myself the 1GB Shuffle yesterday.

I was on the phone with one of the vendors that I regularly buy equipment from and she seemed surprised that I had one.
