4700 demo units in stores yet??!
Has anyone witness a 4700 make its way to an actual brick and mortar store yet?!?! I got to play with one for about 2 minutes a couple weeks ago when an employee from our New York office showed up with one. Not enough time to get a solid determination on it. And as far as I can tell no CompUSA or Best Buy has a demo model yet.
So has anyone seen one of these elusive units hit the stores?

I called my Best Buy here when they started selling them online, and the guy said that they would never have them in-store for sale. :|

YES, in Circuit City Frederick, MD
Yesterday I went to Circuit City in Frederick, MD and saw one on display for the first time. I couldn't believe what i saw, the screen was SOOOOOO nice. So nice in fact I bought one and I am a Palm guy, I have 2 tungstens. Even though I had to return it because it wouldn't take a charge, the second is working great so far. I havent had much time with it but I still can't believe how nice it is so far.

In Calgary you can actually play with one at Compusmart.
There is a small store downtown that will go unnamed - they NEVER have a new model that they let you touch.
As an aside, one factor swaying me away from the x50v is that I can still use my 2200 series cables with the 4700.
Basically almost adds up to the price difference - especially in Canada.

My CompUSA only recieved 2 units on the initial shipment a couple days ago, which were *ahem* already spoken for by customers that wanted it, so no display model at CompUSA #353 in Troy, MI yet.

CompUSA.com now shows these as available in stores and you can check availability per location. That's updated daily, I believe. My local stores show In-stock, so I'll have to go check it out.
I did see one today at the local Office Depot. Looked nice but couldn't do much with it. It was locked down under plastic. A shame, because you could only touch a fraction of the touchpad. Way to let me really try this feature out, guys...
