Mine also says delivery by 3:00PM today
Also got my shipping confirmation around 1am last night and FEDEX has an estimated delivery date of April 29th by 3PM. Think it will come true?

That's what I thought as well from what was posted yesterday. Mine was part of a larger institutional order I placed the day they were announced. All 7 came in this morning.
We had ordered a demo WiFi only unit, but that model didn't arrive until the following Friday after the initial ship day of Saturday. I fully expected this order (of 3Gs) to be delayed (by 6 days) as well, but came in early.
MacConnection's Ohio Warehouse Started Shipping Wi-Fi + 3G iPads Thursday Too
Oh Joy!
Yesterday I posted here they weren't getting any until May 14. I was misinformed by a telemarketer there because that's the pessimistic date Apple gave them.
Those who imagine 3G iPads are less popular than the Wi-Fi only models are living in some kind of fantasy land. 3G models are way more popular than crippled Wi-Fi non GPS models.
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!
Wildly popular. MacConnection got their Wi-Fi iPads April 1st, now they got the 3G models yesterday April 29 and started shipping out to earliest members of their backorder queue. I only have to wait 5 more days to get my 64GB +G3 iPad next Wednesday May 5 - ordered April 3 among the first 20 +G3 ordered from MacConnection.

I'm interested in knowing if the YouTube app will stream full quality videos over 3G. I'm still shocked they haven't enabled that in the iPhone.
I am sure we will both be getting ours tomorrow. It seems typical of other online stores that the shipping status is not updated until well after the product actually ships. Our iPads have most likely already shipped or are sitting on the dock waiting to go.
I don't know if this helps, but my order details are listed on Apple.com as:
Mar 12, 2010 at 06:28 AM PDT - Order number W6874XXXXXX
Holy crap! When I just looked for my order date, I clicked "Track this order" (for the hundredth time today) and all the sudden a ton of tracking information showed up and it says DELIVERED!
Gonna run down to shipping and receiving (I work at a school) and pick it up!

Apple Stores at 5:00?
Anyone have any word from apple on what exactly happens at 5:00 in the stores tomorrow?
Middle of the day always seemed like an odd time for a launch to me.
I plan on going to get one tomorrow and I am sure there will be a line of some sort but I was wondering if anyone knew about an official "plan"

I've been up all night and mine still says ships in late April. FML.
I ordered at 6:43am PDT Something tells me if you ordered past the first hour, you're screwed.

Mine still says Ships Late April but no *visible* movement. Ordered March 15th Shipping to Irondale, AL
That's about as far as they can possibly delay and still satisfy their "late April" promise. IIRC the WiFi-only model was released on a Saturday; the next Saturday now is May 1.
I used a one time online number for my purchase that expires tomorrow. If Apple doesn't ship mine soon the order won't go through and I'll get bumped to the back of the line on a new order.
