Oh sweet! Mine has got to be changing soon... Just out of curiosity, what time of day did you order? I know that seems like a weird question, but time of day might have a priority on when orders are processed and I'm trying to figure out when mine might get prepared for shipment. I ordered late morning on the 14th of September. It was probably 10 or 11 here, which would mean it was 8 or 9 o'clock in Cupertino.

I ordered right after ordering the iPhone @ ~3:30am ET.

Ah, okay. Could be a little bit before mine switches status then. I elected to sleep in since I didn't expect there to be as high of a demand on the iPod touches as there would be on the iPhones.
 
Just checked my bank's site. There's a pending transaction for the touch.

That's progress! Really hoping they ship out in the next few days and my local Apple reseller gets them asap. But I'll survive on unboxing and review videos on Youtube ;)

Just checked in again and yep preparing for shipment

Ordered 9/14 64gb silver

I sure hope mine switches sometime tonight. It looks like the 14th orders are switching over. I want my turn! :p

EDIT: awwww yeah! Mine just went to preparing for shipment! Let's do this!
 
Very cool, congrats to all of you! What day did preorders start on these, was it the 12th or 14th? I ordered on the 20th and no status change yet.
 
sorry guys, my bad....can't count!

At least things are now moving along! I hope my local Apple reseller also gets the first shipments... I'm gonna chat with an Apple Specialist now and see if they have any further details...
 
It's alright, the excitement of this was probably getting to your head :p
I know I'm hyped up about it now! I'll never get to sleep tonight... the next step is to anxiously await the email with my tracking number :)

I'm as excited as you guys are and I haven't even pre-ordered and I live in NZ so who knows how long I will have to wait!
 
I'm guessing you'll get it by the end of the week but I could be COMPLETELY wrong, just guessing here :)

Hey, guesses are welcome. Wild speculation is fun, is it not? :) I'd say you're probably right though, within the week seems like a very reasonable timeframe. I'm assuming it'll ship out tomorrow. I hope it does...
 
My order for the non-engraved PRODUCT (RED) 32GB is now in the "Preparing For Shipment" stage. I received a confirmation email when I ordered the iPod Touch on September 14 at 12:28 AM EST.

Yes, I agree. At least it isn't "Late October" anymore. Been hearing that everywhere for the past few weeks.
And seems ALL the first preorders are changing to "Preparing for shipment"!
