According to this Ziff-Davis article, Apple is on track to ship Tiger by mid-April. Just the other day Apple released Tiger Build 8A425, which was basically labeled as a release candidate.

There are only two major issues existing in this most recent build, one dealing with Japanese language support in some Carbon-based apps, and the other some issues with Nvidia GForce video cards.

This seems to be in line with what the rumor sites have been saying.

On a related note, Amazon has been offering $100 – $150 rebates on items like iBooks, Powerbooks, and the Powermac G5. The rebates are only applicable if you purchase a system by April 5, 2005. A friend of mine suggested the other night that this was so that you could buy a computer now and use the $150 mail-in rebate to upgrade to Tiger, which will cost about $130 (under $100 if you get it from Amazon).
