Mine is still in Ontario, but I'm local and the time to get to my local facility is not much more than an hour..................
News breaking on KABC-TV Hostage situation at the FedEx FDX - FedEx Corporation (NYSE) facility in Ontario, CA. 5 armed and masked intruders entered the facility and took 7 members of the office staff hostage. They were apparently aware of a large shipment of electronics being held at the facility and have demanded the entire supply to save the lives of the hostages. It turns out the electronic devices are the iPad units being released by Apple AAPL - Apple Inc. (NASDAQ). FedEx, Apple, and law enforcement have consulted and FedEx is arranging a Boeing 767 to fly the intruders and the iPad devices to an unnamed mid-east location, unofficially reported to be Syria. Apple has not officially responded, but a spokesperson informally said Apple will automatically re-fulfill the orders involved, but due to the high demand and a shortage in display screens in the supply chain, the expected order fulfillment date is July 27. Charges to credit cards will be reversed in the meantime.
Just kidding.

Been sitting in Ontario, CA since the 10th. It's "in transit" though, finally.
Edit: It started in Ontario, then went to Mira Loma, CA and is now back in Ontario, CA. "In transit" still.

I hope you saw the "Just Kidding". Made the text color light so it would not be immediately noticed, but hopefully no one will get a heart attack.Oh no, I hope my iPad is okay
No. It may have arrived at it's destination already, but the contents have yet to be scanned. It doesn't officially arrive until it's been scanned as received.
+1 its more of a sideways travel to the valley but ill take it. Nice to see it moving.
Mine went from Ontario to Mira Loma to Oakland... in a matter of 3 hours...and hasn't updated since then... about 8 hours ago...
Why did it go North, when it eventually will head south?
I am in Phoenix... Oh well... at least my iPad got to pass by the home of it's makers... Cupertino.

I don't understand?
Ok, here's what I don't understand, my iPad was at Long Beach, CA and when it left, I thought it's on its way to San Diego, CA where I live because if you look at the map, it would make more sense but then I just looked at my tracking and for the life of me, why would they go further away and instead go to Ontario? Is Ontario some kind of Distribution center? What's in Long Beach then? Oh well, as long as it says on time then all I can do is wait. It's just so confusing these logistics business

I'm in Phoenix, too. No updates since it left Oakland about 11 hours ago.

Same boat here. At least we're all together.
