mophie juice pack 3g release delayed…slightly
by Justin Horn on Oct 1st, 2008 @ 10:49 amUPDATE (10.17.08)
Well now the mophie website is showing 10/25/2008 for the preorder shipping date. Although this is what the website says, I believe they are currently shipping the preorders on a first come first serve basis. Dr. Macenstein from Macenstein.com received a unit already for review purposes so this backs up my theory that they are currently shipping them and the October 25th date just represents when they beleive they will have all the preorders shipped. Always better to tell something they will get something 10 days from now and get it to them early than the other way around.
Chad @ Mophie:
“You will receive an email once your order has shipped; do to the large number of preorder this process will go into next week to fill all preorders.”
“The mophie juice pack for iPhone 3G is scheduled to start shipping on October 25th, 2008 for customers who placed pre-orders on or before September 8th, 2008. For customers who placed pre-orders or customers placing new orders, the mophie juice pack for iPhone 3G is scheduled to start shipment on October 30th, 2008.

Well the shipping date shown on the Mophie website has changed from October 15th to October 30th. Along with this move the early preorders that were going to be shipping on October 1st have now been pushed back to the 15th and the rest to the 30th. According to Chad the delay is due in part to apple. I assume this has to do with that seal of approval mophie got with their first juice pack and making sure they get that on the new one before shipping.
Chad @ Mophie:
“We have encountered a slight delay from Apple so the 3G Juice Pack will begin shipping October 15th, with all preorders shipping first.”
So everyone will have to wait another 2 weeks for the juice pack! Come back to whenwillapple.com mid October for my review of the juice pack 3g when I get it.
It looks like my assumption on the apple delay was correct.
From the mophie website FAQ
