With a 40% IPC advantage,

ROFL. You don't actually believe that, Petz, do you? Hint: "wide variety" = some cooked up FP special on a 4S system.

Production, meaning PRODUCTION OUTPUT starts in June.

Not according to the article at DailyTech:

These models will enter production in June 2007 with a mid-2007 launch date.

So launch to follow sometime later. Nothing is available to the end customer before launch.
