Any chance the retail employees mention if they would be getting stock later today?

Anybody see any shipping movement on New Powerbeats?

@ChrisTX asked above, but I'll ask again. Was there ever any official announcement from Apple that these would be 'launched' today? I know there were reports that they would be available today, which is true since people are getting them. But if you go to the Apple website, they're not on the front page. Then if you go to iPhone, then Accessories, they're not even on that page, and not even listed as a 'Featured Accessory'. You have to click 'Headphones and speakers', and then scroll down before you finally see them.
Seems like Apple is trying to distance itself from the Beats brand they actually own by only advertising on the Beats website. it also seems they are having issues producing units hence the "soft" launch. Zero movement on my expedited shipping May 13- May 20 order.
I’m going to the Dallas galleria to check right now.
They didn’t. Just gave me the typical response to check online. If this was a normal launch, they’d have them by now.
I’m betting The Woodlands won’t have them either. Definitely a controlled release by Apple. Not sure why though.
My order changed to "Preparing for Shipment" last night around 7:15EDT and there has been no movement on it since (still no shipping label created). Ordered :16 and have a delivery date of 5/13-5/20. If it finally gets moving it looks like Monday, since I haven't seen Apple pay for Saturday deliveries with FedEx before.
Nothing in any Apple stores in a 50 mile radius. The Apple tech did say today was the official launch. But she did offer me to go in and try the demo ones on. Like I want to use them then give them back..lol ugh why have a launch if you don’t have the product.
I just got back from the local best buy and Apple Store. They had nothing on hand. Release Date? Yeah right.
When did Apple announce May 10 was the official launch day?
Chill out people. The shipping estimate from Apple when you ordered was May 13 at the earliest, going on a week or more into June. If you ordered as a Mother's Day gift I get your disappointment, but otherwise, they're just headphones. Many of you only intend to "sample" them for two weeks and then consider whether to return or keep.
This is not an iPhone. Chillax.
The one time I should have pre ordered! Bestbuy just said they don’t see any stock in any of there California warehouses let alone stores. Apple has none in Stores. I held out just so I could get them in the morning and not wait for shipping and it back fired. The middle finger goes out to all company’s who launch a product but have none in stores! Lol
There was one person that his shipment today. Kudos to him. Wishing that was me. I definitely don’t intend to use these for 2 weeks as a sample only to send them back. I don’t even have time for that. I just want to start using them already as my Jaybirds went out on me and I am headphoneless at the moment.
EDIT: Mine just went from Juliet, Tennessee to Atlanta, TX. I didn’t even know there was such a place. That’s definitely NOT Houston lol.

Mine are shipping via UPS, and apparently are going on a long weekend vacation tour of the eastern U.S. before the delivery date of Monday...
Shipped from Nashville, Tennessee and now just arrived in West Columbia, South Carolina...which seems a little odd in that I live just outside Sacramento, CA...Odder still, stuff from UPS, usually goes direct to here, from TN, since they have a major hub here...Go west, Powerbeats, go west...lol.

I'm a Red Sox fan. But I'm not going to talk smack because we're off to such a bad start this season. I'll be in Houston in a couple of weeks to see the Sox play the Astros!
