According to the latest information that I received, here are the latest
estimate of shipping delays on Apple memory products:

1MB Memory expansion kit (4x256k)   17 weeks
2MB Memory expansion kit (2x1M)     37 weeks
4MB Memory expansion kit (4x1M)     Not currently shipping

I would assume that the "not shipping" message means not yet available.
