I just woke up this morning and my mba has been shipped. it says 12:18 PM Left origin Shanghai CN. I don't have an estimated delivery date. When does that show??
We're on the same plane buddy.
I think we'll get our delivery dates when it hits the states.
There are 3 MBA's on display here at the Apple store in Lenox Mall Atlanta. They had 3 base models come in early but I'm waiting for the SSD. They have not received there freight shipment yet which should arrive around 2pm I was told. I expect more to be on that shipment.

Mine is on there too. My guess is Tuesday or Wednesday, but I am still hoping for Monday.
I am getting to anxious!!! I went to the apple 
store yesterday to buy the airport extreme and the sales guy said they had a macbook air in the back and showed it to me!!! I feel in love, its amazing, the screen is amazing and so it how sturdy it feels.
I am going crazy!!!

WOW! i am still amazed! for the money the mba costs i almost convinced myself to just get really upgrade and get a a pro, but i know i would be kicking myself!
I wish someone who's already received theirs would talk a little about it: discovered any performance limitations or anything else unexpected??
I'm personally dying to see if you can plug a USB SDHC card into it and download AVCHD video reasonably well.

The wow-effect.
No kidding. I got it while I was at work. I asked the guy in charge of shipping if a package came in because I was waiting for a computer. He said, "Yeah, something came in, but nothing big enough to be a computer." I said, "It's probably mine." Sure enough, there it was in a package much smaller that I imagine. I opened it up and the box seemed like the width of a couple of chocolate boxes. And when I pulled it out, me and one of my co-workers were both surprised. I knew it was going to be thin and light, but, as Walt Mossberg said, there are not really any words to appropriately describe the machine.
aiongiant, looks like our mba's are on the same pallet? i have a timestamp of 9:55PM china local for in transit status.
consider if it leaves china saturday night over there, stays in alaska through sunday, goes to MEM or IND for release on monday, i guestimate next tuesday at the earliest.
Thats awesome. This is my first Mac. They have been giving me a hard time at work saying it won't work on the system, etc. I really hope it is as cool as everyone says it is and I don't have any problems with it. Then I can rub it in the face
Mine has "left origin"
Mine is on there too. My guess is Tuesday or Wednesday, but I am still hoping for Monday.
Mine has the same "Left origin" timestamp as well. I'm guessing (based on the tracking info from everyone else) they will leave China tonight, then Monday they will leave Alaska, and we should get them on Tuesday.
I've been lurking all week and finally decided to register.

They're probably too busy setting them up and playing with them
-- but I'm with you, would love to hear some more first-hand reports.JT
No photos unfortunately -- I'm sure you've seen enough by now!
First impressions:
1) The machine is definitely quick (base model). I've never experienced a significant lag, or anything bouncing on the dock more than twice.
3) As everyone else has mentioned the screen is beautiful!
2) My AT&T USB Air card works perfectly. Sits in the USB slot when the MBA is on a desk without a problem.
3) Quality and build is impeccable.
Other than that -- nothing. No complaints, no gripes. I'm in love.
Anyone have any questions?

Re: MBA Bags
In regards to bags, I've been a big fan of SpireUSA.
I purchased a vertical bag back in 1999(?) for my then new PowerBook G3 Pismo. I've been using the same bag with different Macs (currently a MB Pro 15") for the past seven or so years and it's still in great shape.
But I realized the MBA (for me) is all about weight and my bag probably weighs more than the MBA, so I decided it is time for a new bag. But I wanted one that is small, light and easy to lug around.

I looked at many manufactures, but decided to stick with Spire. I purchased the Spire 13" Dart. It weighs about a pound and looks like it'll fit the bill. It should be here on the same day as my MBA. I couldn't have planned it any better.
They have a cool 360 view that really shows how thin this bag is and also has compartments for some docs, adapters, etc. Check it out.

PS, no I don't work for them. I'm just pretty jazzed about not having to lug 10lbs worth of stuff everyday.
