Well, the iMac's are already shipping. We are waiting for several things: improvements in the Intel compiler sequence (it compiles all of R, but there are linking and runtime problems) and for Apple to update gfortran in its CVS and make it compile on Mactel (although it is optimistic to hope this will happen any time soon). My guess is there a usable R in a month.
