I suspect that might be due to the Nikon D5000 announcement?

Foto Actualidad posted this just a bit ago (translated to English)
“The date of availability of the new Canon 500D / T1i / Kiss X3, has taken a few days, at least in Japan, will start its mass availability on April 24″

We also had an Australian in the forums last night (at least in the USA) post:
“Just preordered my 500D body. Advice from the shop is that they might arrive this week or next even!”

I asked where and he responded:
“Here – I was in there on Wednesday and he had just spoken to someone advising that delivery was due very soon. In his words ‘possibly this week’”

The Amazon UK site still shows “This item is due to be released on May 5, 2009.”

UPDATE: 10:45am CDT
Jessop’s in the UK has updated all their pages with this:
“ORDER NOW for delivery THIS TUESDAY 21 April!”
