Any Mac Minis on their way to Europe?

I ordered my Mini (1.25 GHz, basic config+BT) on 11/01/2005, 08:17 PM GMT (so, about 2 hours after the keynote, when I was finally able to get through to the German Apple Store). The order status is still "Open" - Minis ordered around the same time in the US already seem to be on their way.



Are there already reports of Minis being on their way to Europe?

    I think if I remember correctly, the release date for europe was a week after the US release date ? but I could be wrong.



    This is becoming normal practice for Apple. Early indications are that Apple is flying the mini directly from its factories in China to the US.



    As everyone knows, due to the Earth's rotation it can take up to an extra week to circumnavigate the globe and fly over Asia, the former Soviet Union and ultimately Europe.

    Well, the estimated shipping date is "On or before 28/01/2005". Hopefully it doesn't arrive defective like my new G5 last week - rear fan failure. So much about Apple quality control.
