We have heard from several Observers who say they have received shipping information on their Jaguar pre-orders. Jaguar is set to officially ship on August 24th, which is this Saturday. Looking at the messages that customers have been receiving, it would seem that Apple may be shipping the first orders out as early as Wednesday, August 21st. The message received:
