for anyone that placed early orders and noticed that the credit card hold has been released::::
I spoke with 3 different customer service reps to confirm this just now - the authorization is still on record on Apple's side - the "release" is just what happens sometimes right before it si charged.
This means that it is being prepared to shipment and you should see an update soon.
So! hopefully mine will be shipped out today *fingers crossed*
Also, if you complain, they will add overnight shipping to appease you. But, let it be known, as said earlier in the thread, there IS NO overnight shipping.. so they are really just doing it to boost customer ratings. (which isn't really as malicious as it would seem)
