I just sent EA an email. I'll post back if I ever get a response.
Edit: Okay, I got an automated email that more or less said "get bent! We can't be bothered with your questions."

Ugh...that kills all hope I had for Starcraft II also.
Has anyone used C&C3 using Boot Camp? How did that run?
It shouldn't be too bad. C & C for PC was designed with a low end system in mind. Ive seen benchmarks for a low-end PC and it performed well.
i installed it 2 days ago on XP - the thing flies - I have all setting at high (have not tried ultra high yet) and at full res (1400 x 900) have not had one crash or stutter, everything is so smooth and graphics are great!. I was going to wait for EA to buck their ideas up, but gave up, I think it will run better in XP anyhow. The MBP does get hot but have not got a temp monitor in XP - when switching to OSX straight after, the temp was at 69 degrees C.
i say we email Mr. Jobs and tell him that Ea isn't pulling its weight. i can't imagine he'd want to be in business with a slacker partner. i understand software dev, but no updates is pretty bad business practice. and it's the same for madden 08 - nuttin'!
but <sigh>, it is just a game. guess i'll find other things to do until it comes out

GREAT!
Waiting for reviews
Really in Apple store: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=10501E75&nplm=TN642LL/A
I haven't called yet, but I doubt they're in the stores right now. The estimated shipping time is 7-10 business days, which makes me think that they don't have it quite yet. I'll call my apple store next week.
Neither of the stores near me had copies yet, but the manager seemed to think they would be arriving as soon as tomorrow and at the latest next week.
I'll post again if I hear any updates since until I hear a sales rep. tell me he/she has the game in hand, it doesn't exist.
Then again maybe they're just teasing us, from appleinsider posted yesterday:

Hey guys I was looking up the page with command and conquer 3 on it at the apple website and here where the system requirement:
System Requirements
Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
1.83GHz or faster Intel Core Duo processor
1GB RAM
6GB free hard-disk space
Video card: ATI X1600 series or later; NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or later
DVD-ROM drive
Note: This game does not support the GMA950 integrated graphics card.
Does this mean the game won't run on a mac mini and macbook or that you cannot get customer support from ea using this chipset?

The more I think about it... the fact that the shipping dates are 7-10 days on the apple store may indeed indicate that the games aren't even ready to be shipped yet.
The apple retail locations are pretty beholden to Apple for any and all information, and it seems they have received very little about these titles.
One rep I spoke with said, "Sometimes we get software before the apple store, sometimes it takes us a month to get shipments."
I guess it's probably not wise to hold one's breath for these games. They'll get here eventually.
Unfortunately that typically means any system with that chipset will not run the game. I am not familiar with which Apple systems have integrated chips, but it looks like, (at least according to the system requirements available) any system with the GMA950 will not run this game. :/

It means that the game won't run on the GMA950 and requires dedicated graphics.
