I ordered a 64g 3G on the first day of preordering.

Got my shipping confirmation last night around 2:30am.

Apple.com says "shipped on April 29th" but FEDEX says shipped on April 28th. Fedex shows estimated delivery date of TODAY by 4:30pm.

Stranger things have happened, yes? Do you think I should expect this today?

Cool, what's an Ipad?:D
 
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?

Still Nothing

I ordered mine on March 15th and the status hasn't changed since then - except they billed me for the AppleCare 2 weeks ago.

Instead of ships "late April", they should have put ships "last possible second in April".
 
still waiting

Mine hasn't shipped yet or given me an update, and I ordered very early.

i thought 3g models were shipping from US, not China, can you show us proof.

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

is this 3G thing even popular? I mean any way of gauging how many people pre-ordered it compared to wifi?
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. :) 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!! :D
 
My 3G was ordered on March 12th at 7:32 AM Pacific time. It is still showing as "late April". I guess i will be taking the WIFI model on my trip this sunday
 
When you get it setup, could you please see if netflix will stream over 3G, or other media streaming apps???

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.
 
May 4?

It seems my apple rep was wrong when he said I would have my iPad by Friday April 30. The shipping info says May 4. That just makes me mad.

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. :mad:

I ordered at 6:43am PDT Something tells me if you ordered past the first hour, you're screwed.
 
Mine still says not yet shipped (64G 3g), ships late April, I guess technically tomorrow is still late April. I hope it ships soon though. Called apple support this morning too just to make sure there weren't any problems and they said that everything was fine and it would ship late april. He said the status would update when the carrier picked it up and updated their system.

Mine also ships late April but it hasn't even been shipped yet.

post a pic or let us know if you really got it today!

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.
 
Just checked my order also, same deal... Prepared for shipment....My CC has yet to be charged also.. What a treat it would be to hear the doorbell and see a nice Fedex truck parked outside.... Wishful thinking I know :cool:
 
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. :mad:
