ATI R600 release dates unveiled

The launch of the Radeon HD 2900 series is now being pulled up to May 2, instead of the previous May 14 date. On that May 14 date, the 2600 and 2400 will appear. However, both of these are soft launches. Whilst the 2900 will appear on the 2nd, it won't be available to buy until the 14th. Whilst the 2600 and 2400 will be unveiled on the 14th, neither of those cards will be widely available until the middle of June at the earliest.
