Post 'em here. I ordered a 1GHz PowerBook G4 without the SuperDrive as a custom build. Apple's page says 5-7 days availability. Other people have probably got other configurations. Post 'em and let us know when they're shipping! - DH
Ordered new iBook 800 with 640mb ram, 30 gig hd and airport card. Ordered today from MacMall. It will be here tomorrow..I had it overnighted. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
By the way..The rep. at MacMall said that I had gotten the 3rd from the last. He said they sold the entire lot in a 1 1/2 days. They were getting a new shipment in tonight. Man I sure hate that Apple is going down the tubes like everyone says. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
I ordered an 800MHz, 40Gb HD, 640Mb RAM, 14.1" iBook with the optical drive downgraded to a CD-ROM so I could buy the external LaCie (sp?) firrewire 48x burner. The burner shipped today, haven't gotten notification from Apple about my iBook yet. said 3-5 days. I ordered it on the 6th roughly 10 hours after the update. Here's hoping it comes soon! Anyone kow where they ship from? I live in Az, if that helps at all.
How often are you going to burn DVDs? I personally don't need that in a laptop. Plus the combo drive speeds are slightly better (still not sure how much that matters). Also, and most importantly, I was at the end of my rope waiting for this update. I can't afford to wait 3-4 more weeks. 5-7 days is my max (looking like its going to be less).
For me, buying the superdrive is a waste, since I have a few on some DP800s and a DPGhz here at work. $2357 (my price after tax) was a perfect price and gives me everything I need.

$2357? I guess you didn't go for the 60gb. Paid $2417 including tax for mine Ghz/1GB/Combo/60g. I think the ADC is the best deal anyone can get

My gig/combo shipped today as well. So 2 day express it should be here Wednesday as FedEx's website doesn't show it, so they must've gotten it after hours.
I ordered the top model PB WITH superdrive. I will be waiting 3-4 weeks for this but i think it is very worth it. I will need to burn DVDs once in a while for the animations i make (im a college student by the way). so i really want a dvd burner, but i cant spend too much money. getting an external dvd drive will cost me like $400-$500 extra, im not gonna spend that much when i could get one for less. also external drives dont work with iDVD, which means spending more $$$ on software... so the choice is clear for me, plus, having an internal dvd drive in that little thing rocks. cant wait to get it!!
