In the UK? Don't think I've seen an Apple ad on UK TV - mind you, I do record most stuff so skip over the ads
Got a tip for us?

Yeah I saw that too.
Don't think much of the advert, seems rather boring and doesn't really show off the product as much as the iOS adverts. Not keen on the black background either. 😛

As if by magic, the delivery status has now updated. Delivery tomorrow. I think I am going to wet myself.

Woah, don't know if this is old news, it probably is.
But if your order has shipped and you have no tracking information, after searching and lots of trial error, worked out if you paste your 'Our Delivery Reference' number into this website. You can find out exactly where your order is!

Yep in the UK. I don't remember which channel though...

I quite like it! I think the content is really nice and I find the music inspiring in some way. "Progress" I think...
It's not as informative as iOS Ads but I'm not really sure how they could cleverly show off that it has Flash, USB, Retina SSD... I guess the speed of the video/photo editing is demonstrating how fast this thing really is!

Nope, was delivery to Hinckley. On expo mine's just changed to "Delivered to Consignee" at 21:30 (BST) 🙁
On the same plane?! Unfortunately I know I won't be home on Saturday so I just hope UPS is open late! 🙂

Mine doesn't say which flight it is on - just says what you posted! - Doesn't your say Thursday too, not Saturday?
Still works for me?
Mine saying its on a plane from frankfurt to heathrow, yet I can't find it on flight tracking websites! Weird
Strangely, it comes on a lorry from frankfurt to london. Has happened to mine as we speak and everyone else's I believe.

oh yes, so it does 🙂

Is the "flight" number LH7726? If so, as said above, it's a truck!
B**ger. I think it won't be until Wednesday now. Only chance for tomorrow is if the expo tracking is hours slow
Did yours come on the lh7726 truck? how long did it take and I guess there is no way of checking where it is. mine left at about 5.05pm today and gets in at 4.01pm tomorrow, I find that hard to believe, even for a truck?

Yep, LH7726. Took About 16 hours - 810km FRA to LHR by road. Trucks are governed to 90km/h, so 9 hours, plus 2 hour sea crossing plus queuing/loading/unloading, plus driver's compulsory breaks, so about right
30-Jun-2012 07:41:00 GMT At Final Destination LONDON, ENGLAND (LHR) LH7726I/3 LHR T15K1859 ACT

Same here dude! The wait has been painful and I think I may need a new F5 key.

Hopefully they will arrive at their next destination (maybe UK?) by the morning. I think they left just before 5 our time since they left just before 12 in China!

No 🙁 it's at Syncreon's merge facility at Hinckley so hoping for Wed. delivery now 🙂
Yeah! I guess there is no way of tracking that then? If it arrives in London tomorrow at 4pm, why is my estimate Friday! Been waiting since the 12th for the low end model!
Is it merging with a student gift card? Damn, mine is too and I was hoping for wednesday delivery, guess there is no chance of that because I am behind you.
