The only thing I can say is when they ship they'd better make sure they ship enough to satisfy preorders and expected demand. A delay of a week or two could mean people who ordered in September/October are waiting until 2010 for their device.

Of course ebay sellers will love it but nobody else will.

However sometimes common sense and the actions of large companies don't really align

if they needed feedback from dev's. why not plan for it instead. and if they need more time to bugfix/adjustments, Admit the planning was bad and the product isn't ready for market.

Well I never pre-ordered, though have been looking forward to it getting released.
But this way they are losing the holiday shopping window in the US at least.

They don't need to admit it isn't ready for market, if it was ready I would have one wouldn't I?
Not every market is like the microsoft/apple one, where vista was the best OS ever and the original iphone was brilliant.
