Anyone else thinking how much the guys at Cupertino must be laughing at all of us in this thread right now? I mean, we're going ******* over guessing whether we're going to have our computer tomorrow or the next day or the next day. Reminds me of the scene from Bee Movie when he tries to get out the closed window... "this time! this time! this time! this time!...."
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

My bank account has an authorization charge for the full amount of the iMac (plus tax) today. Predicting and hoping that tomorrow they will change to "prepared" on the Order Status page (as most people's cards were getting charges on Friday, except I had to authorize my debit card to let such a large charge happen)

However it is also interesting to point out that as I post this at 2:30PM Eastern Time...it is already Monday, 3:30AM in China. So later on tonight China might already be preparing your shipment
Yes, it has been discussed. However, European Apple sites are still changing to November when you add the 4850 to the duo-core.
I would also like to point out that the 27" duo core says 7-10 business days, however, says "Next business day delivery available", but then when you add the 4850, the 7-10 business days stays, however, the "Next business day delivery available" goes away. Weird. If it's 7-10 days it should not say next day shipping available for anything...
Your command of the English language is, eh, not so good. Therefore, your reading comprehension level stinks, therefore, you've taken away false conclusions that we think Apple is looking at this site and just obeying what we say or that we wish they were or something, I don't know, wrong.
No, the site is called MacRumors, where speculation and conjecture about Apple happens. Maybe you will now understand and not be so "negatives" next time.

Not on the UK site, when selecting the 4850, it changes to the NOW famous "November".
What's really funny is that I've been glued to this thread and I don't even have one on order. But I'm definitely getting one. I'm just waiting to see how they perform in the field temperature-wise before placing my order.
Ok, time to break away and go do some house-chores. Watching this thread continuously isn't going to speed things up! (I'm calling myself out here)

That is kinda weird. It looks genuine but too good to be true. I think the Apple guy is just saying rubbish. Also it does not say for which part of the world they are shipping.
I would also think Apple would update the status of people's orders to "Ships in 7 to 10 days". Strange.
I think the next 7 days will tell us something...

Yes you are right Bryan (finished the house chores ?
), we should get something new next week anyway, that Apple is shipping at the end of the month or within the next 2 weeks.I hope we will get a shipping confirmation with estimated date, via email.
No kidding......

For those who don't understand .....he told us that his imac is gonna be shipped next week and i told him..........ok
I am probably going to eBay my 2006 Mac Pro (it has upgraded Cloverton Quad Cores: so 8x2.33Ghz) so it is still plenty fast but I think for most things the iMac 4x2.8Ghz i7 will be faster, not to mention it is a killer monitor.
Storage is an issue on the iMac but OWC has an interesting 4-bay RAID-5 FW800 enclosure that I could use for my FCP and Aperture scratch disk.
I am also trying to find a cheap 4/5 bay RAID 5 NAS enclosure that might work for general backup with Time Machine etc. but most are just Jbod or RAID 0/1.
Anyway I am excited for you guys to get your i5s and i7s so you can test them out and post your results.
damn
I suppose I should have clarified if next week means starting tomorrow or a week from tomorrow.... damn.

I didn't say my iMac was shipping next week. I said shipping begins Nov. 10th.
I think by the time we receive our iMacs, update 10.6.2 will be released,
hmm I'm also wondering if November 14th the official opening in New York City's Broadway and 67th Street on Saturday, will display its 27" i5 and/or i7.
I think apple is surely proud enough to show the costumers it's newest products.
Could this mean that we'll really receive our iMac within 2 weeks (mid November)??

This is a good example of an unfounded rumor..
I have it down to a science now
It does take a few hours, but as I said, I had some work that I had to get out this week, and the MBA just isn't fast enough.My bank account has an authorization charge for the full amount of the iMac (plus tax) today. Predicting and hoping that tomorrow they will change to "prepared" on the Order Status page (as most people's cards were getting charges on Friday, except I had to authorize my debit card to let such a large charge happen)

I had a full authorization charge last Thursday (11/05) and nothing has changed on my order page including the fact I can still cancel the order...
I think this is part of the recent delay... I am sure they wanted no problems arising with the 15/17's as they have with the other 27's. I agree that 10.6.2 and the shipping of the Quads will occur at approximately the same time....
Seems reasonable as any other posts...
Two other people from Apple just told me that there has been no information given. I think Ronnie may be speculating.

I think Ronnie is surfing around this thread, a Apple undercover agent, and likes a bit of fun amongst facts that nobody knows, besides Steve Jobs.
Hi, I've used an older Intuos originally, then used a Graphire 4 for about 3 years now and loved every minute of it and I just bought the Wacom Bamboo Fun (Pen & Touch) ... all of the above vere the Medium sized ones and all of those bought at just above $200 and I was happy with each and every one of them. I just couldn't justify the extra $200 to get an Intuos and quite honestly, if you're doing design or photo retouching, the regular $200 ones are plenty enough and way, way superior to the mouse and I would only recommend the Intuos range if you're into some serious Illustrations or digital painting.
I thought I would give the Apple Store chat session a shot. I spoke with Rashaun R. and he said that they do not know what day it will ship in November. I then asked him if it was looking like the next week or so, or if it was going to be towards the end of the month. He said he didn't know and then he went on to tell me that the online store would update first and then everyone in customer service would be briefed on the new shipping dates very shortly thereafter.
