Shipped, but no movement...
My FedEx tracking shows that it was picked up at 2:32 pm on the 20th, but since then the tracking page shows no changes. Except, it seems like about ever other time I check it the take off the estimated delivery date of 9/24. What's the deal, does anyone else think theirs is on the plane with mine? Has anyone elses moved? When is it going to get to Ancorage?

one ping only, please
the charge that appeared on my card yesterday (9/21, for 17" w/extra ram and BT module) is gone this morning (9/22). i had no pre-auth before that. not sure what it means exactly in terms of ship date, but it's gotta be close. why else?

BT Keyboard & Mouse
I too am curious if this option ships with additional wired ones or if it's somehow configured before it ships.
I'm upgrading from a pre-usb PowerPC 7600 (132 !) so I don't have either usb keyboard or mouse.
I'll be very sad if the iMac shows up and I can't use it!
My 20" order is still on or before 9/30.

Nice, looks like you will be receiving your BT model before many of us in the US. So the European lag isn't there this time.
Congrats and enjoy. I'm jealous!
Looks like the 20" + BT is in last place for shipping.
When I think about it I start to feel that Apple has a HUGE number of orders from resellers - from the very small to the very large - that also have to be filled. Inventories have dried up over the last 3 months since the G4 stopped production and it's going to take a huge level of deliveries.
The larger resellers are going to be pushing hard with their buying power and the small operations are REALLY going to need inventory in order to stay in business - it must have been very tough to go 3 months without a good seller on the shelves.
I'm not too worried about the big guys, but (as a one man company) I'll wait a few days to help the little guy out and hope Apple is giving them priority in deliveries.

Mine flew out from China (I live in the UK) a week ago, and still not got it yet
TNT Tracker page says that it is in Eindhoven at the moment, so am hoping I will get it tomorrow though! Then again, been saying that since last Friday!

From past experience of ordering my iPod and iPod mini - once they reached Eindhoven they were usually delivered the next day or the day after. So I think you have 2 days to go at the max!
Fingers crossed for you.
Yeah, has been the same when I ordered my iBook, iPod and some acessories in the past - always been speedy from there on.
It got there at 00:09 this morning - so imagine it just missed the cutoff to get on the flight to UK this morning - so thinking it will be tomorrow all going well.
It said it wasnt even going to ship until the 5th of October, so can't complain

No love from Apple yet
20" BT/250HD/stock ram
I have to believe that, given the Brits have received shipping notice on their BT orders, us Yanks can't be far behind.
One thing that I haven't seen yet is a customer complaining that Apple missed the projected ship date. Lots of whining about waiting but no broken promises. Am I wrong?
If Apple meets the shipping deadline they issued me (9/29) I will be pleased. Yeah its hard to wait when the Apple Store had one in stock, but the extra disk space and internal bluetooth will be well worth it.
Cheers to all you new iMac owners.

Woo hoo! Mine has arrived in Dublin, I'm presuming it'll make Kilkenny (75 miles away) by tomorrow! Can't wait to unwrap it
Is this the first in Ireland? Europe?
Edit - that's a 17inch entry model with 512MB RAM
2nd edit - I ordered it on the 29th - basically as soon as I saw it

Throbbing lights..
A quick question to those lucky people whos iMac has already arrived.
Do the new iMacs have a throbbing white light on the front somewhere when asleep ?

"The Bluetooth keyboard and mouse discovery and setup are the first things that come up when you initially power up the iMac G5, so you may never need to connect a wired keyboard and mouse."
just thought this might help clear things up

Thanks BuckWright, very observant of you!
Can't wait to upgrade from my current 132mhz 604 processor to a 1.8ghz G5. That will be eleven!
