Noo - it's just landed here in Oz. Around AU$6k will buy you a nice little unit. Ships in 2 to 4 days, according to the site.
I'll be on my mate's Applestore doorstop tommorow.

Aww dammit - they just pulled the prices out of the Aus Apple store. This is getting really annoying. Just sell us the bloody thing. We know you've got them!

Interesting. Last night I priced a 2.66 octo, and in the morning there were only 3.0 octos. Apple swears it must have been a webmaster incident.
First one to post real world test results gets ... ummm... to be the first one to post the real world tests.

Yeah - and I've added bluetooth, wireless gear, the ATI card and some extra RAM, so it's more like $7.5K. Benchmarks, anyone? Or .. even.. reassurance that it won't be the P76 version G5?
Uh, that's an Aussie car joke, for those who go googling P76.

Tsk. I'm going to go to my grave waiting for a new machine here.
It's the most sensible thing to do, sadly.
I'm not waiting six months though. There will always be a new version on the horizon. Gotta jump sometime.
Now, quickly, someone else jump for me and tell me if there's rocks or marshmallows at the bottom!
