it’s also a cingular/AT&T product. maybe their schedule conflicted, or some type of contractual promotional obligation concerning stores (both apple and cingular/at&t) or whatever other variables involved in the promotion of this hype-magnet are concerned have required apple to not release it on tuesday. there is nothing that really makes tuesday an imperitive date to release something. maybe statistically they make the best days to release things as far as marketing goes, but there may be something outweighing this.

It’s possible it will be announced on Tuesday, then available at all stores the next day.

Yes, it’s extremely rare for Apple to release something in the middle of the week. It would make no sense from a PR/Marketing standpoint. Tuesday has always been prime and part of Apple’s grassroots marketing tricks.

If I’m not mistaken, the current 24″ iMac was released on a Wednesday. It may have been a Thursday, but the point it that it wasn’t released on a Tuesday.

Everyone who wants one! So several million people I would assume.
