Too bad at this time of the year. MacObserver had the article I read. The interesting part for me was the "Gotcha" overlay on the page that scolded me for having ad bloc ability.

Apple Apologizes for 27” iMac Delays, “Working Hard to Fulfill Orders”
December 14th, 2009 at 6:55 PM - News by Bryan Chaffin
Apple has issued an apology for delays in customer orders for its new 27" iMac. The company has been seeing high demand for the model and order times pushed back, even as there have been increasing reports of issues with the computer's screen appearing on Mac sites and Apple's support forum.
"We are working hard to fulfill orders as quickly as possible," an Apple spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal. "We apologize for any inconvenience or delay in delivery this may cause our customers."
Both 21.5" iMacs have an shipping estimate of 24 hours on the online Apple Store as of this writing, while both 27" models currently show availability of two weeks. As the most popular Mac desktop on the market and the busiest shopping season of the year, delays couldn't come at a worse time for Apple.
It's unclear if the delays relate to the complaints of screen flicker and shipping issues regarding the new Mac, though some online media outlets have connected the two. Complaints began appearing soon after the models were introduced of a screen flicker on Apple's support forum, with one post having 1,265 responses and more than 193,000 views, both of which are high on Apple's forum.
More recently, customer reports of broken or shattered screens have been reported, with one blog dedicated to this issue having been started. The Apple iMac (Fall 2009) Issues blog is collecting data relating to the issue after the site's founder received an iMac with a shattered screen out of the box.
I'm writing from My son's new 21.5" iMac and this puppy is SWEET !
I can't imagine what a 27" is like!!
I love this new Magic Mouse ... gotta get me one... it's so sleek and responsive.
No wonder the 27" are BOed 2+ weeks...
I'm amazed its not 3 months !!
My son took his home [sad] We had fun playing with it. Loved the graphics card when we put a movie in to test it!
The mouse is pretty swift and nice too.
Only thing more difficult to get use to was the wireless keyboard without the ten key area. I can't understand why my fingers felt so pushed together. Should have measured it against my board.

Kate, I've put that little keyboard directly behind my MacBook Pro keyboard and it's the same size believe it or not. I was surprised.
