Well, it is just a tablet..it's a materialistic item that we don't actually need, just want, lol. Try not to get too worked up over it if you can.
I am predicting an in-store supply perhaps in late January- February. Ideally, a launch where it's difficult to find in January but by Feb and especially March, lots of inventory everywhere. At least, that's my prediction. But you never know with these types of things - if we're really lucky, come the first week of January, perhaps we'll see them in stores all over the place, nicely stocked.
