Encouraging to see one of the 32gb wi-fi ones ship! Unfortunately, still no movement on mine. Not even a pending charge.

My status changed this morning to "Prepared for Shipment".

My card was charged on the 23rd. So about two days in between for that notice to appear.

That's good to know, I look at it now and it's been about two days since the time stamp of the pending charge on my credit card. So maybe later today it will ship. :D

OMG right when I wrote this, logged into my account and guess what Prepared for Shipment!!!!!! So it does look like its about a two day wait from the time the pending charge shows up. Hope everyone else gets some good news today.
 
FINALLY prepared for Shipment. 16gb Black WiFi ordered March 11 @ 4:45 p.m. PDT. Or 3:45. Can't remember now. Either way, finally prepared.

After several days of people with April 1 ship dates suddenly moving up and getting shipped, has this stopped? Are people still seeing their status change on orders from March 11? Lots of us have heard nothing.

Order Date: Mar 11, 2011 at 08:12 AM PDT

My 64g WiFi Black just changed to prepared for shipment sometime this afternoon. Looks like things are starting to move :)

Mine still waiting as well, ordered March 11, 6:30 pm PDT. From following this thread, it doesn't really sound like there is any discernible pattern on which order attributes are shipping first/last/etc. I'll just wait for the e-mail from Apple, I guess. :(

Still sitting in prepared for shipping. Engraving is locked. Been prepared to ship since early AM Thursday. Still pending charge on my CC (since Tuesday).

I got 64gb, white, att, engraved. Ordered 7:22am PST on March 11
 
Good news for those with Black 32GB Wifi-only models - mine just turned to Prepared to Ship in the last 30 minutes! Ordered 8:59am PDT on March 11.

I never saw a pre-auth on my credit card, so that particular indicator might be dependent on how your card company shows pre-auths.

Still no change to my order status at the Apple online store, but a charge for the correct amount is now listed as pending on my credit card. As others have noted, a charge can be pending on a credit card for 1-2 days before any change in Apple order status.

My unit: black 32GB WiFi only, ordered 3/11 at 1:06 Pacific time.

Status has changed over the past couple of hours to Prepared for Shipment.

Finally, some movement on my 32GB, "Prepared for Shipment"

The 32Gb logjam seems to be moving. Hope others are seeing progress.
 
Ordered ~7PM on 3/11, moved to Prepared for Shipment about an hour ago. Whoo!

Edit: 16GB white GSM model.

At least she has a friend. My 64GB white WiFi wrote and said she's thinking about leading a midnight escape to nearby Hong Kong Disney. She must know I'm a fan and plan to take her to Disney World end of next month. If she doesn't bring me back some good souvenirs we're going to have words when she gets here. I can just as easily take her older brother iPad1.;)

Hey movement! Looks like my 64GB gave up on the Disneyland side trip and caught a flight to Alaska. Must not have liked the cold. She departed for places south this afternoon.

Departed FedEx location
ANCHORAGE, AK

Maybe she heard I was off investigating her Android competitors today at Best Buy. Xoom and Galaxy Tab felt surprisingly well-built and nice in my hands. My iPad2 must be getting nervous or jealous. I'll have to remember to drop a Xoom in my Amazon basket over the weekend to see if I can get her to arrive Monday instead of Tuesday.

That's what I need to do tomorrow, go down to Best Buy and start looking at other tablets. :D It's encouraging that people who ordered late afternoon/early evening on March 11 are getting theres shipped now. I checked my order, no movement yet, but saw that I had ordered at 5:38 pm PDT. Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow morning, it's on the move.
 
Order Date: Mar 11, 2011 at 08:14 PM PDT

Mine finally moved to "Prepared for shipment" today, 3/25 sometime between 3 and 5:30pm.

IPAD WI-FI 3G 64GB BLACK-USA
Ships: Apr 1
Delivers: Apr 6

Got the 'Prepared for Shipment' message on 3/25 at 3:00 pm (CT)
 
E-mail from Apple 11 hours after shipped

Received shipping e-mail from Apple Store @ 11:08 pm EDT on 03/25.

Mar 25, 2011 12:09 PM Shipment information sent to FedEx
Mar 25, 2011 11:34 AM Picked up - SHENZHEN CN

Delivery Date: 03/31 by 4:30 pm to Florida

Ordered Ipad 2 64gb 3G (AT&T) Black on 03/11 @ 7:00 pm. Pending credit card charge since 03/23 around 9:00 am ($1 + cost if Ipad 2). Still hasn't posted as a full charge.

A little strange that it was picked up, then 35 minutes later the shipping information was sent to Fedex, then 11 hours later an e-mail from Apple.

Good luck to those still waiting. It might have already been shipped!
