release date: What is the deal?

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.

I think the announcement for August was for an expansion. You should get this one since the expansion follows the previous story.

It says "sold out" but it's really just available for pre-order. From reading various websites, it looks like it's going to be available early next year some time (Feb?). If you can wait, it's probably worth waiting for. I really want one for Christmas though, so I'm thinking about getting the original version. It seems to get great reviews!

I don't think they had any idea it would be quite this popular, particularly as a pre-order. Hoping to get mine, too, before Christmas. But, if it's delayed further, it's delayed further - that certainly won't make me not buy it. I understand how anxious people are to get their hands on one of these - I feel the same way - patience is a virtue. (yeah, yeah, I still want it here now, too ;-)

They will release it in mid July 2013. Stay tuned for the release date announcement.

It's hard to say. It's in Amazon's warehouse but for some reason it's not showing as available. I doubt if it takes them that long to release it.

Hmmm, now I can't find any mention of a release date. I've been looking at a ton of tablets, so I could be wrong about Feb, but I'm pretty sure it was "early next year". Maybe I read it on one of the replies to questions on about the current version. Were you able to cancel your order for the one that's available now? I wish I would have ordered it when it was $199.

I ordered this on the 22nd and to me, it still says that it has not been released.

Until they release a major version. I'm not sure if they publicly post a roadmap but a new major version was just released so you should be good for awhile.

What do you mean by inside info? Someone on another board said that they contacted MSI and they said that it was scheduled for release mid-March. Is that what you mean?

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.

Excellent points, both of you. I can totally wait it out until more releases even HAVE the HD etc. audio, at which point the receiver prices will be even lower.

Looks like it's Wizards. I have it for pre-order too and I jumped on the Wizards site right away and noticed that it was still saying late November so I began cursing Amazon. When I went to look right now to post the URL as evidence they'd updated it to Feb 15. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/214420000I suppose Amazon's off the hook then.

FWIW the Amazon Canada site says it is due for release Feb 8th.http://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-Seashell-1001P-MU17-BK-10-1-Inch-Netbook/dp/B00322PYUY/ref=sr_1_4/177-9098976-7904302?ie=UTF8&s;=electronics&qid;=1264457876&sr;=1-4

Release Date: OCTOBER 18, 2009 . This is subject to change of course, but as of now that is the BIG date!!

I'll give it another day and then cancel my preorder. What kind of garbage is this? Your customers pay in advance, don't get their item on the promised release date, and then they are left in the dark on when it will actually come out?

I selected standard free shipping, so the estimated shipping date is shown as October 26. Now I pre-ordered back in July, so they've known about my order for over three months. And yet their plan is to wait 4 days after the product is released (and probably about 7 days after they actually get the product) to ship it to me. Why the wait? Simple. To punish me for not paying extra for release date shipping. I don't have a problem with using the slowest/cheapest method of shipping, since that's all I was willing to pay for. But waiting to ship just because I didn't pay extra is just abusive.
