Mid-September. But according to the order page, it says 3 - 4 weeks. SO I think by the end of the last week in September, some people will have it in hand.

Mid-September would fit under the "3" of 3-4 weeks, so they're not being entirely untruthful. I suspect that Apple will be very eager to get the new iMac into their retail stores at the same time... maybe even a bit earlier.

If you're going to order, order ASAP - we don't know how long the initial allotment will last, if it hasn't already sold out. I do believe that Apple will get the first batch out by the end of September, since 1.6 and 1.8 GHz chips are easier to manufacture and the rest of the system is made of commodity parts.

...and by then everyone will be speculating when the next revision comes out. No wonder statistically Mac users keep their computers longer. They're either waiting for a ship date or the next revision.

I ordered in the UK, 1 hour after the keynote.

I have a 'on or before 28th Sept' date.

Mine says "On or before 10/01".

Interesting, its the same day as my birthday. How appropriate!

According to Apple, immediately.

How soon till they are displayed @ the Apple Store I want to see it in the flesh pretty bad. If it's what I'm expect I'll order or buy it in store on the spot. I don't think I've ever actually bought a mac sight unseen.
