The wait continues. For me it's not all that bad because house repairs have been taking all my money lately.
Sapphire's page:
http://www.sapphiretech.com/en/products/mainboards.php
is now showing more motherboards based on the ATI Radeon Xpress. Some with the 400 southbridge and some with the 450 (Azalia).
The Pure Innovation board they supplied to reviewers weeks ago still isn't on the shelves for most of the earth. I searched for the RD480 crossfire board and a store in New Zealand shows it in stock.
Their support "forum" needs help itself from the remarks I saw there.

Surely they don't want to miss out on the Christmas buying frenzy ?
