release date Apple lists this as a 31 October release date on their website. Amazon says 11 October. What is the deal?

or perhaps they just made a mistake and corrected it as soon as they realized they put the wrong date.

I don't think they would make such "mistake" by accident. millions of ppl are looking forward to buy this shuffle. I think amazon got the word from apple, but apple did not deliver their promise to amazon for marketing purposes.

They didn't push the release back. Apple was always going to release the shuffle on October 31, but Amazon had it listed more than two weeks earlier when there was literally no chance of their listing being true. I can wait, lol, it's not a big deal, but it's still shady.

Wow....it is like you have never seen a company push back a release before. Hope you are looking forward to the new play station. If you can't wait...buy the nano.

I'm extremely disappointed in Amazon. I pre-ordered this item on January 31st and not only has Apple been shipping them for almost a month now, but Amazon can't even give me an "estimated" ship date! This whole process has been a complete waste of time. I'm giving up on Amazon. They're completely useless.

Apple and Amazon are shipping on wednesday. They do the "First come, first served". I ordered mine yesterday (Sep 5) and my delivery estimate is from 20th to the 27th. With the 2-day shipping the shipping estimate is from the 16th to the 23rd. So they are saying they are shipping it 11-18 days from the pre-order day. Im almost 100% sure that amazon will ship it WAY before that. All the products i've ordered from amazon have come "early". So amazon already has the iPods they are just waiting for wednesday to ship them and you will receive them according to your shipping speed. Apple and Amazon are shipping on wednesday.

I would think that the next iMac shipment from Apple to all of it's re-sellers would include Leopard installed since they are available that way now at the Apple Store (and have been so awhile I believe). I've got a 24 incher on order too and am more concerned about that $100 rebate from Amazon which apparently expires next Monday 12/3. Amazon says it may be 3-5 weeks until this this model ships. I'm hoping they will show up a little early...like this week, before this rebate expires. Otherwise I may cancel and wait until after the first of the year to re-order.

I don't know! I've been checking every day since the 6th. Who would we contact to find out the estimated date of release?

I saw a release date of 28th Feb for the UK, but I'm sure I saw 11th Feb somewhere on Amazon.com yesterday (although I can't see that anywhere now).UPDATE: a quick search on the web shows "March sometime" as being the current info. I think Amazon.com made a typo somewhere, hence I can't find it again.

On the availability. Amazon told me 11 February. When I asked what they based their estimate on, given the manufacturer's estimated of March 2011, they have been strangely quite, not answering my e-mails. Makes me think there was more than a bit of deception going on, trying to increase pre-orders. Otherwise, why wouldn't they answer my question? Not too remarkably, they quickly changed my status from estimated delivery to "not released". This isn't the first time I've seen Amazon lie when it suits their purpose.

The Sept 1 press release for this product said Oct 2 release date (which was when the pre-order finally showed up on Amazon). I contacted Samsung on Oct 2, and they said "Early October" release. They couldn't give me any more details, so I guess we can expect this within two weeks. I felt "hinted" that we'd know something more definitive by Oct 5, although the sales rep couldn't say much. No word on the included accessories either, and even some of Amazon's specs for the different models don't line up with what Samsung originally announced in the press release. I hope this gets straightened out soon.

From what I have been reading, the headset was released last week. I agree that if Amazon is way down on the list of retailers, you may have to wait a bit longer. Might have something to do with pre-orders of $79 too :o(I'll keep my pre-order for alittle while longer and then may cancel and go elsewhere too... good luck....

Amazon has to provide an estimated ship date. The open-ended delivery date will drive me to cancel my amazon order and go with apple.com. Customer's who ordered priority shipping must be very annoyed with Amazon right now. And the current $499.99 list price for the 500 GB hard drive is misleading and unfair (and a scam).

I believe that stores other than the Apple stores won't have them for a while. I went to BestBuy and they told me they didnt think they would have them til December, which might explain why Amazon is on preorder

Reading a review on CNET (dated today, March 27th) the reviewer (a Beta tester) noted that the unit goes on sale on both Amazon and at Dash on March 27th: no mention of delayed delivery. Hope you get it next week!

Good point. It's October and the Amazon iMacs still ship with Snow Leopard? Every other reseller I've checked is offering models with Lion pre-installed. You guys just lost a sale.

It's now 12/28/07. So what's the situation w/ leopard etc? Has any one ordered a macbook from Amazon since nov 25th 07?Amazon.com? What's the deal with not stating what OS comes with the Macbooks you are shipping out? It might be actually causing drop in Macbook sales for you guys. Get with it and state that 'yes they do come with Leopard now!' I'd rather purchase from Amazon (less scary return policy) but I might have to order from Macconnection.com as the price is the same (actually with them you don't have go thru the hassle of the rebate as their price reflects $100 discount) and their site clearly states that they do come with Leopard and iLife 08....

Did you order from Apple or Amazon? Placed my order 1 from Amazon back in January, have not been notified yet for shipping date

I think mine says like April or something. But that's what my MacBook Air said too when I ordered it over the weekend, and it shipped yesterday. So who knows when this thing will ship.

It will work without the 10.6.2 update, but there are a few features that will be unavailable. I would say this coming Wednesday (Oct 28) it will start shipping. Amazon will more than likely start shipping the same day as Apple. If you recall, Amazon had the MacMini up and shipping hours after Apple announced them.
