Not sure about MobileMe, but Exchange 'push' works great. Only downside is it really kills the battery life - I'd guess it uses 25-35% more battery when doing push vs syncing a few times an hour. Let me know if you have any specific questions on push, and I'll try to answer. -Ed

I understand tracking directly their unit sales in retail stores - that makes sense and should be quite accurate. But like album sales, aren't shipped units normally tracked as "sold" once they leave the warehouse? They were purchased by a vendor, so in Apple's eyes, they were sold, correct? I'm not necessarily defending Apple, I'm just curious.

Visit an AT&T store, let them order one and deliver it to the store. They quoted me 10-21 days in Chapel Thrill, and I got mine in 3.

On Tuesday it was showing 'in stock' at SouthPoint the next day, when I went, they had nothing in that days shipment. On Wednesday night they showed no stock for Crabtree, but on Thur, but I called them, and they just got some in - I rushed over and go one - I was about #12 in line, but the line grew while I was there and they turned folks away. If you want a phone - call each Apple store @ 10:00 AM (opening) and 11:15 (they should have their shipments by then) and ask what they have for the day - don't use the website. Hit '5' to get to a person once their message starts.
