It's obvious that some of the Flat-Panel iMacs are shipping, since more than a few people have gotten them. But it seems clear that something is holding up a lot of them. The 800MHz SuperDrive models were supposed to be released in late January and barely made that date (Jan. 28th). The 700MHz models were supposed to be available in February and last time I checked it was March 8th and no one has one. The 700MHz CD-RW model is supposed to be out in March, so I think we can reasonably assume it won't really be available until April.
