Las Vegas
San Francisco (Flagship Store) - More worrisome, they said that it will only be able to PREVIEW tomorrow, but not sure on when actual sales will begin

Thanks for checking, villanova, since I'm leaving for Jackson Hole, WY at 7:30a tomorrow that's great news for me! :D I will be picking mine up on Saturday afternoon in the midst of massive Apple pandemonium! :D :cool:

I was at the Providence Mall today and they didn't have any on display. I asked one of the guy and he said he doesn't know when it will be available.

None of the stores in Canada (Toronto - Yorkdale, Eaton Centre, Sherway Gardens/Laval - Carrefour Laval) have any. They all said the exact same thing; they'll be in sometime next week. Sherway Gardens blamed customs. Yorkdale offered to take contact information, saying they'd send out an e-mail or a phone call as soon as they arrived.

Rain City WA
Seattle Stores

None of the 3 in the local area (Alderwood, U Village and Bellvue) have them or not saying. I got an "I can't tell you yet." From 2 of the stores.

Curious. Not a yes or a no........

I've pretty much am content with the possible fact that they were told to just act "stupid" about the subject. Because if you think about it, how can any worker be THAT clueless "uhhh... we don't know, try in a couple of weeks." If that was the case Steve Jobs wouldn't have said 2 weeks if he wasn't serious about it. Because honestly, Apple is trying to gather more crowds with their merchandise, and they wont be attracting new customers if they are only going to serve just those who pre-ordered. The Air hype isn't as big as the iPhone, so they're going to need to put units out there so that people can actually feel it before they purchase it, can't just look at a pre-order screen or a keynote.

So I'll give up for today and hope for the best tomorrow.
