White or Black, don't care.

Anyone have any inside knowledge or helpful hints on where to check?

I have checked all B&M stores in my area. No luck online. Apple's delivery date is by the 28th.

I probably procrastinated too long to get one prior to Christmas without going the ebay route.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Order it from apple I just did and it took with shipping 3 days.

That way you have your choice on color and size :)

You might give milo.com a try for tracking one down local to you. Otherwise I'd try reserving one with Apple after 10 pm.

Was it showing availability times of one week like it currently does? I placed an order yesterday. Would be great to get it before Christmas.

I am interested in order/ship times as well from Apple. I ordered 32 gig WiFi units for myself and my wife, hoping the Dec 28th date is just a general advisory date and we'll get them before Christmas. I will admit that I chose 32 gig units even though 16s would have sufficed just in hopes they would get here this week.

Yes, 10pm Pacific.

Edit to add: I think your best bet is download the Apple Store App and keep refreshing that about that time. I haven't actually done this but have seen others post that they did.

Yeah, I just called there. They have tons and tons of blacks, but no whites until after Christmas. Well, the search continues.

I broke down and went with the black/slate.

Was a little leary of ordering from a place in NYC I had never heard of but if there have been multiple orders by MacRumors people, I'm sure it's fine.

And Tekserve is reputable?

Ordered two A couple of 16gb wifi from them a few weeks ago. Arrived a week later. Would have arrived sooner but FedEx screwed up somehow. At any rate, Tekserv is excellent. Didn't have to pay shipping or tax either.
