Wait Time Decreasing?

I ordered mine in March 2008. At that time, it said expected delivery date was Sept to Nov 2009. I got an email to configure in early September 2008. When I went in to configure, it told me the expected delivery date was July to Sept 2009. Now I just went and checked and it says expected delivery between March and May 2009. Is the supply finally catching up with the demand?

My DDE has also moved up by 6 months! I believe it has to do with increased production, cancellations due to the economy and less reservations. Just my humble opinion

Reserved in early April 08 - original DDE was July-Sept 09. Configured in late Aug. 08 - DDE is now Feb - Apr. 09. Still within the 12 month period I originally expected. . . If it comes in prior to April it will beat the 12 months. Bring it on~!

I been hearing of people having their waiting times decrease too. If that is the case, then i can tell prospectives the waiting time is a up to a year instead of the waiting period being up to a year and a half. However i am not ashamed to tell how i really got mine.
