Time Capsule in this week's Best Buy flyer

by Dave Caolo Feb 25th 2008 at 9:00AM

Several readers have written to let us know that Apple's Time Capsule is listed in the current Best Buy flyer. It is scheduled for a February release, so this could mean that we'll see it in stores this week.

If any TUAW readers visit a Best Buy this week, let us know if you find a Time Capsule on the shelves, and if you buy one!

Thanks, to everyone who sent this in!

I work at a Best Buy, yet we still have our old Airport Extremes on the shelves. I'll be waiting too.

im the apple expert at my best buy and so far it says we have one time capsule on order which is a toss up because for the most part the apple products just show up on different shipments from our regular trucks. Also we havent had shipments of the airport express, macbooks and especially macbook pros in a while....

I live in Belgium and pre-ordered a Capsule over in Germany at Cyberport. Just checked my account, and it says: "Shipping date undetermined", whereas the catalogue indicates "Shipping as of 28 Feb". I'll have to wait and see (impatiently, I must say).

That's cool - I might try it; I'd really like to see an "approved solution" without going into terminal and turning stuff on...

More importantly, does this mean that Time Machine over WiFi will be enabled? I have a perfectly good external hard drive and Airport Extreme (802.11n) base station, and I'd love to use Time Machine over the air.

Yeh, just like the last time Best Buy put the BT Mighty Mouse in their flyer, you all fell for that "typo" too.

I called an Apple Store in DE to check on availability, and they're hoping to have it Friday.

Now here's hoping they've fixed the AEBS drop issue...

None at my local Best Buy in Orlando. Heck they were out of stock of AirPort Extreme's as well.

I'm so glad this email came out. I had a bunch of gift cards to Best Buy, so I told myself i'd hold off on buying Time Capulse until Best Buy got one.

Thanks TUAW for making a story completely devoted to my situation :)

Update: Best Buy sent me an email showing a target date of 3/10-3/22. So I guess they'll get it a tad later.
