Was this directed towards my comment lol?
Basically after hearing about people picking them up in Apple Stores, I placed an order online for pickup (even though the only store is 360 miles away). My plan is to have family pickup for me, so I called and spoke with a specialist yesterday to see about any updates. He did not know idea the date or quantity they would get in, but he did seem aware of their release.
I'm hoping my "pick up pre order" has priority over in-store purchases when they get stock...
