2.5 GHz G5s still not shipping

Contrary to a previous report nothing that Apple had begun shipping its high-end dual processor 2.5 GHz Power Mac G5, MacInTouch today cites a number of notes from customers who purchased the machine the day it was announced, only to discover now that they won't be shipping until September in some cases.

"My 2.5-GHz G5, originally set to ship on July 30th, is now scheduled for August 6. I put in my order June 9, the day Apple announced the new machines."

"It doesn't seem like it's an overwhelming demand that's causing shipping delays. I've not heard of anyone getting the machines so it sounds more like a manufacturing issue--that there are none available. I would think that if it were a demand issue that there would be some folks/stores that would have them by now."

"Apple's Web site is now telling me 'On or before 9/20/2004'!"

"Apple did it again (at least, to me) I put in an order for a dual 2.5ghz system a day after the announcement ... this Saturday, barely before that deadline, that estimate was pushed out a month [to] 09/03/04."

"We ordered our 2.5-GHz G5 the night it was announced ... a stock machine except for an Airport Express card. Ours is currently listed as 'on or before 8/20' ... Sigh."
