    Was thinking of getting one of these.
    Does anyone have any idea when it will be available to purchase here - Amazon have it available to pre-order, but there's no date given.

    You can order it on the apple.ie website and it says 1-2weeks for delivery, but is this likely to be accurate?

    The official release date is March 16th. Apple's 1-2 weeks estimate should be accurate.

    If you want to get it from a bricks and mortar shop you'll have to contact them about when they expect to have them in.

    United Kingdom ->
    Tamworth, United Kingdom ->
    Castle Donnington, United Kingdom ->
    Koeln, Germany

    Mine took this route. Dunno what it's doing in Germany now. Has an expected delivery of Tomorrow but I very much doubt that.

    Their European sorting hub is in Cologne. Ridiculous I know when its only coming from the UK.. I'm pretty sure you'll have it tomorrow though. From past experiences, it should arrive in Shannon about 6 or 7 and be out for delivery around 9. If the drivers not too busy you should have it be early afternoon

    Anything ive ever got from apple has taken that route, same with returning iphones under warranty with germany being the first destination . Must be a ups thing.

    It's out for delivery anyway.

    Mine arrived around 3pm also via UPS. It came even though it was shipped through Germany. Anything i've gotten before came straight from Tamworth it's the first time i've had it use this route.

    To be honest I wasn't expecting this to ship till at least this Tuesday. Didn't expect to have it and all 9 days after ordering it. Great service as always.
