I'm at work and I just checked this for you guys...

Update 12.14.11

The Champagne tablet doesn't have much info, just says street date was 12/12, nothing for in-stock date.

The Grey one says street date of 12/18 and in-stock date of 1/08, so I would say that is when you can expect the stores to start receiving inventory.

Online orders should be shipping on-time :)

Update 12.04.11

Here is some more info that we received and it's not great news, unfortunately...

Asus Prime Tablet

•Gray model (SKU 4038674): Currently available for presale on Bestbuy.com, however will most likely not be available in stores until after the new year

•Champagne model (SKU 4040165): Also available for pre-order on BestBuy.com now, and is Bestbuy.com only product

Asus Prime Keyboard Docks

•Gray keyboard dock (SKU 4175048 ): will be available when the Asus Prime Tablet is launched in stores. This SKU is currently on BestBuy.com but is in backorder status so is not available

•Champagne keyboard dock (SKU 4222113): will be available on BestBuy.com only, and is currently available for preorder online

I work for Best Buy and I thought I would let you guys know about the Prime here, didn't see much info about it and the other thread on release date is getting cluttered. 32GBs only on the site right now for $499. Links:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+...0165.p?id=1218452443357&skuId=4040165&st=asus

I took a look in our inventory system and they don't pull up in there yet, so I can't look for a release date but I will dig some more and keep checking and see what I can find.

Dock in Grey (SKU 4175048)

Street date shows 11-17-11, so that's wrong. That's probably just the day it got added into the inventory system. I will add more info if I have anymore to share.
