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.

I noticed this ad yesterday and went to my local Best Buy which has a mini Apple store. They did not have any Time Capsules in stock yet.

i'm still a little confused. will the bundled hard drive work as though you plugged an external hard drive into one of the old airport extreme base stations? if so, i'm definitely going to grab one of these......but if it only works with leopard, and if it only works as a time machine type of thing, it won't work for me and my old power pc, tiger os laptop.

On my apple store's account, it's said "Prepared for Shipment " (finally ^^)

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.

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

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...

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

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.

Skyman... It already does...
That is after you paste the following into a terminal window and simply press enter (all one line)
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
Save some loot :)
Thats what I am doing with my Linksys SATA NAS
and my Macbook

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

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).

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