Da5id: would you, as head of a company like Apple, make a definitive statement regarding your computers being in your stores worldwide on the day following your announcement?

Unless you knew with 100% certainty that those machines were ALREADY THERE, I doubt you would. Unless, that is, you were Steve Jobs.

He’s a hack who taints everything he touches, because he believes he can’t be wrong. The fact that he continually *is* wrong doesn’t seem to put him off. I suppose it’s not so much anger as disappointment that he’s gone and done it again.

They had them by 11am this morning in Bellevue, WA.

I see a bunch of crying about simple logistic issues. So many people getting so angry about something that really isn’t a big deal. Wait a couple days (or god forbid, call) to make certain you won’t be making a drive in vain.

I’m assuming James went to the Galleria store. That is indeed puzzling as to why that store wouldn’t have the units in. The Woodlands seemed to have them.

They have them at Briarwood Mall in Michigan. On display too…The thing is so nice. Pictures don’t do it justice. I walked right by a new Macbook thinking it was the Air. An incredible machine.

Mr. Kendrick your carbon footprint must be HUGE.
(just kidding). Maybe Apple Stores can put an Inventory Link in iTunes. Apple logistics can do better than this.

I am just back from the Fashion Valley store in San Diego and they have them in stock. None on the floor yet but there is a semi-line to pick them up. Can’t wait to play with one.

I was in the area anyway so I just dropped by. Sheesh, it’s like I really screwed up or something. :)

You burned up hydrocarbons without calling to check if they had them first? Wow you must not be a self proclaimed hypermiler….

I went to the Apple Store and they seemed to have everything in stock. What? You went to the Brick and Mortar Apple Retail store? How old-fashioned. In that case, maybe use that old-fashioned telephone to ring them up and ask about inventory? Just saying… ;)

Having scoured the web site and Google, I think you’re right Kevin. No online inventory apart from the iPhone. Still, there is always the telephone… :)
