As the Thunderbolt port continues to make an appearance in Apple's lineup of products, a report out today has one item line beginning to ship to stores and resellers this week. Originally introduced in July, Apple's new 27-inch Thunderbolt Display could be making its way to customers soon.
MacRumors is reporting that they have learned that Apple has started to ship the shiny new display to stores and resellers this week. The site reports that there has not been any news about early customer orders shipping, but it should happen soon.
The new display adds on Thunderbolt compatibility, which allows for the displays to serve as a docking station with one Thunderbolt cable. It also includes a built-in FaceTime HD camera, 2.1 speaker system, three USB ports, one Firewire 800 port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, and a second Thunderbolt port to enable daisy chaining. It can run two displays off of a single Thunderbolt port on Macs offering enough firepower to handle all the pixels.
If you're in the market for a new display, it's currently available for pre-order for $999.
