After the Fuji X-Pro1 has been available in other countries for almost a month, the first US shipment is currently en route to dealers according to Brandon Remler who works for Fujifilm USA. Expect the first shipments to customers to start next week. B&H has listed the availability date as April 4th:
Own a Fuji X-Pro1 mirrorless camera system, want to travel in style and have £5695 ($9,000) to burn? Get this Globe-Trotter limited edition suitcase. From the press release:

The Kipon Leica M-mount lens adapter for Fujifilm X-Pro1 cameras is now available on eBay for $67.99.

This silver X-Pro1 will probably come as a limited edition, similar to the black Fuji X100. The “regular” black Fuji X-Pro1 camera is currently scheduled […]
In addition to the Photographer’s Guide to the Fujifilm FinePix X100, there is a new book for X100 fans called Mastering the Fuji X100 (now available for pre-order on Amazon for $19.37).
The Fuji X-Pro1 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera is now shipping in Japan, just as Fujifilm promised last month. The North America market has to wait for another month, but I have the feeling that the camera will start shipping before March 20th in the US.
