There are reports that the MacBook Air was to go on sale at Apple stores across the country today or tomorrow. A quick trip to our local store saw no such MacBooks, and after asking a couple of acting managers when we’d be able to play with them in a retail setting, I was told at least a week.

Now, this runs contrary to some rumors floating around, specifically from Boy Genius, who has it on good authority that the Air’s are in the stores, they’re just waiting for the pre-destined alignment of stars to pull the trigger.

We’re not sure what’s going on, But at the Stevenote, exactly 14 days ago, Steve said we’d be seeing them “in a couple weeks”. We’re waiting, sir, and we wait patiently.
