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.

WOW i just noticed that, its the only reason I didn't go ahead and place my order, can anyone confirm this? i get free shipping here and no tax, but apple wants to charge me tax, so i came to amazon, but i don't want to wait a month.

As of March 3rd... Apple has shipped some from their online store and local stores have had some limited inventory. I asked Sunday afternoon at my local Apple store. They had two being used on display and said that they had sold some but no longer had any in inventory. The Apple online store indicates that they ship within 5-7 business days. I predict it will take a little while yet before Amazon starts to fulfill orders.As of March 15... Local Apple store still did not have any in stock. I do note that the 1TB version is soldout at BestBuy and they have dropped the price from $499 to $424, the 500GB version is also sold out at BestBuy and has price dropped from $299 to $254.

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'm astonished that Amazon believes that I own this device. I have, however, been searching diligently for information on this very subject. The best estimate/guess for general release is perhaps the middle of November. Apparently the W700 has experienced limited release in just a few major markets. The surprising element to me is, considering the vast number of articles previewing this and similar devices (all touting an Oct. 26th release), is the silence regarding their absence in the marketplace.

FYI - I preordered mine from Apple in the middle of Jan and just received it this week (2/25). So it isn't just Amazon - I have read posts that say some Apple stores have them - but I think that might be false.

September 25th it is. Amazon product page is showing it to be in stock now. Hopefully they will start shipping soon. Edit: Looks like anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon is screwed. In stock at Buy.com, J&R, and Electronics Expo, but Amazon is quoting 1-2 months! WTF?

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!

I was very upset that Amazon in fact did not get their dates straight (I called customer service when I got the update). I have ordered mine 10/3 with their promise to deliver by 10/19. Well, I was promised early december delivery date but got my shipment today. Thanks, Amazon. I also ordered one from apple.com, got it in 2 days with free shipping also (I did have to pay tax). One difference though, apple sent my merchandise in a very safe and sturdy packaging. well cushioned and supported. Amazon shipment came in a box with very minimal cushion. Items rattled when I picked it up from my mailbox. My consolation is that it came prior to Christmas.

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.

I thought this laptop had already been released. As a matter of fact, I thought it was released on 3 March 2010. Is Amazon not selling the laptops until a later date?

I have the exact same question, everywhere I look there's a different release date Amazon: April 30, 2014 Kotobukiya store: March 2014

got it in 7 days? that's good. too bad I ordered on sept 7th (came out on the 6th, I waited for the rebate to actually show up) and it hasn't even been recognized by amazon yet. hopefully i'll have it sometime next week or the week after that. I woulda got it from apple, but I save 270 bucks thru amazon.

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.

The Apple Store has been selling this unit for a couple of months, and it has been available (possibly exclusively) at Best Buy for several weeks. From what I have seen, all other retailers would not receive it until the 2nd or 3rd week of August.

New date is now April 11, 2014.Edit: Well Amazon, it's now April 22. When are you going to start selling this case? Newegg has it listed now!

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.
