Here is my complete guess:

For many of us, myself included, I'm sure your tracking number shows your iPad in Lantau Island, HK. My best guess is that the iPad shipped out on FedEx flight 98 to Memphis, TN or possibly FedEx flight 9164 to Anchorage, AK. I've seen Apple products come through AK before, but my guess is that it most likely is going to Memphis first.

FYI - If you are checking the FlightAware links, it is rare that it will show actual departures for flights originating (or arriving for that matter) outside of the US live. Both flights would have departed already, so it's a matter of waiting for their arrival, with the flight to AK arriving in a couple hours, while the Memphis flight will be ~12 hours from now.

Well, mine made it to Anchorage, so looks like the FDX 9164 flight was the winner. However, I'm unable to determine FedEx flights out of Anchorage.
 
still no activity on a 32GB white wifi ordered right after the online orders opened up. 16gb black wifi is already on its way, the white is still "not ready"... either the demand for white was higher than expected or they have allocated far less of of the production line to make them....
 
Ordered mine 3:08am CT for the 64GB wifi black engraved and just last night it changed the status to "Prepared for shipment." I want it so bad!

mine changed last night as well! I was hoping someone who has already received a shipping confirm could tell us how long theirs stayed on prepared to ship status!

Mine stayed in the prepared to ship status for about 24 hours. I placed the order Friday morning around 1am PST.
 
In the US

Mine and my brother's are in ANCHORAGE, AK. Still estimates a March 17th delivery, but Fed-ex is usually pretty good about getting in at least a day early. I suspect some people will get them as soon as tomorrow.
 
Ordered: Mar 11, 2011 at 12:43 AM PDT
IPAD WI-FI 3G (AT&T) 32GB WHITE w/Engraving is prepared for shipment.

Felt like I had a little ADD going on while
pressing the 'refresh' button to check the order status.
:D

Huh? I'm 63. Practically speaking, another Lost Generation.

"I can see standing in line for concert tickets, did that back in my high school and college days because your after an event, not a thing."

The event is standing in line.

"The concert cannot be experienced after the event"

Just like standing in line can't be experienced after the fact.

"This is like people who think driving a certain brand car means something"

You're making untoward generalizations; I drive a Ford Ranger truck, for business and pleasure. It's standing in line that's the event, providing a shared sense of community.

"So standing in line for hours to obtain an item you can get anytime in the future will forever be odd to me."

Again, this misses the point. Like my daughter's wedding, standing in line for an iPad only happens once. Of course, from my perspective my daughter's wedding was a lot more fun than staning in line would have been. ;)

9164 from Anchorage to Memphis is on it's way.
 
This is bogus mine is still sitting there not yet shipped,i have a feeling I wont get it until like the 25th
 
Ordered Black 64GB Non-3G & Non-engraved iPad 2version with the Black Leather Cover at 4:12am EST on March 11th, 2011. (0:12am PST). Status is still "Not yet shipped" as of this time. I have a feeling that I won't see it until next week. :mad:

The cover on the other hand will arrive on the 17th. I am still thinking of ways to utilize the cover "sans" iPad 2.
 
Here is my timeline for my order

32GB black wifi only....

Ordered at 1.01am on 3/11
status changed to prepared for shipment at roughly 9pm on 3/13
status changed to shipped at roughly 8.30pm on 3/14

hope this helps!

That is the difference I cannot reconcile. This is like people who think driving a certain brand car means something; here's a hint, if you can get a payment plan from your local bank it means the car isn't special and neither are you.

So standing in line for hours to obtain an item you can get anytime in the future will forever be odd to me.

I stand in line for the free soft pretzels.
 
16G White Wifi

anybody had any shipping luck? Mine still says not yet shipped. I ordered it a little after 1:00 am PST on Friday...
 
My white 64GB Wifi-only model shipped on 3/13 and is scheduled to be delivered on 3/17. Just checked tracking and it says it has been released from their facility in Memphis.

I ordered at 12:48AM on release morning.
 
I ordered mine on Friday evening after I waited in line 5 hours to get a 32G white ATT one. It was expected to arrive March 31 but I got an email this morning saying it had shipped and would arrive this Friday. Yea! Free shipping, free engraving, and only waiting a week isn't bad.

Dang it, never mind. I was so excited when I got up, I didn't see it was just my digital AV adapter that had shipped. Well, maybe they can slip my ipad into the same box, a little surprise for Brahmafutbol....
