I would bet that if you ordered one today from SonicBlue (30GB for $399) you would receive it within a week.

I ordered mine via the Web on Jan 7 (this past Monday), it got shipped from CA on Wed or Thur and it's sitting in the FedEx place here in VA waiting for me to pick it up tonight.

My buddy just ordered a 20 GB via the web because he can't afford $399 and he might even get that one.

But go ahead and pay $500 for a 10 GB without trying sonicblue first.
