Still sticking to Tuesday from what I have been hearing from different Apple employees at the retail stores and because of the reviews being released.
My guess is Thursday. The only reason being.... it's PAYDAY! And they know we need all the money to put towards this thing we can.

haha. Any day is really good for me since my income doesn't have a set date. Another reason why I like Tuesday is because I'll be like 3 minutes away from an Apple store and it'll be when I drive down for something that's going to only take an hour of my morning. It'd make it more fun if I got a MacBook Air out of the early morning drive and the whole hour I'll be gone.
This is in no way official, I casually phoned an Apple store and asked when they'd have demo units-- they said about 2 weeks. Guessing they wouldn't have a demo unit up and running unless they also had units for sale. So I'm thinking another 2 weeks.

It's funny you say that. One call I made yesterday, the rep said about 2 weeks as well. Then she said wait, never mind, I can't keep saying 2 weeks lol. Then she said next week sometime going into February.
We're not getting our shipment until February 6th.
....at the earliest (if Apple's feeling merciful).

I've called them everyday for the past 2 weeks and they always say 2-weeks. I even called 3 other stores in my state, all with the same answer. Its SOP to tell the people calling 2 weeks.
Woo, looks like I may end up being right about the date:
