How odd.  My preferred pro shop here in Edmonton (the flagship store of a local 
chain) is getting it in as a matter of course.  Their attitude is that Oly 
products do well, and they want to continue to offer the full line-up.  They 
were early off the mark with the E-10 and E-20, and they should have stock of 
the E-1 before the 31st of October.  They also carry the full line of Canon and 
Nikon digis.
