This is from MacMinute.com I hope it's not true, although the high demand is good. I really want my new iMac.
"New iMac orders expected to be filled no earlier than February
In a sign of strong demand, new orders for Apple's high-end, US$1,799 iMac now carry a 3-5 week estimated delivery time from the online Apple Store. Apple will begin shipping the system later this month, although many retailers have been told not to expect much stock until the middle of February at the earliest. The $1,499 and $1,299 models are still listed as shipping in February and March, respectively."

Hopefully, those that ordered quickly, will get theirs sooner then the 3-5 weeks that is in place now.
