iPad 2 Shipping

Has anyone that has had their iPad already ship seen it move from Lantau Island, HK? Nothing has changed as far as the ship date or the delivery date, it just has not moved in a day or so.

Mac Mini 2.4ghz, Mac OS X (10.6.6), Iphone 3g,

I don't think they are shipping the 32GB/64GB AT&T models as yet. It is a bit strange for them to delay such a model for so long after the fact they are shipping all others. I have tried to reason by saying that they may not have two many production lines to have all the 18 models going thru at the same time. And remember, they have sold more than they expected to, as per some estimates.

I have one order @ 12:40AM and the other 12:42AM PDT - 11th March - both 32GB AT&T Black and they are in "Not Yet Shipped".

But, they are still within the committed 3-5 days shipping window. And I am not too worried about actual shipping time as every time I have seen Fedex deliver in 2-3 days from Shenzhen. That will still make it within the 18-25 window. As far as I am concerned, Apple hasn't broken its promise as yet.

Ordered my 64G Verizon at the same time as everyone else with still no movement on the tracking. The smart cover and hdmi adaptor arrived today, but no ipad. Just called apple to try to upgrade to overnight shipping and they said Apple automatically upgraded orders that were placed on the 11th to overnight shipping. I hope it comes before the weekend. Not looking good.

I ordered mine Friday morning at 3:55 am EST. The cover shipped on Monday. The tracking first said I would get it today. Yesterday it changed to tomorrow, today it says I won't receive it until Tuesday... It's still on Lantau Island, HK...

My ipad still hasn't been shipped or even been prepared for shipment. However, it does still say 3-5 days, and I'm still in that time frame, however the cover has made me concerned about this. I was really hoping to have it by the time I went on vacation in late April. BTW, I got the black wifi only 64, no engraving.

If Apple sold/booked 1M iPad-2 over the weekend (Fri-Sun), that amounts to 231/minute and so assuming that one has ordered around the same time can be huge difference in shipping. I am keeping an eye for any evidence of someone gets the same model ahead of another order ahead in time. Yes, they may appear in online stores as they will have allocations/commitments with those channels that cannot be violated. If the folks who have estimates of 3-5 days shipping & Mar 18-25 delivery don't get theirs within their window, then we can take Apple to task. Until then, enjoy/frustrate yourself with anticipation!

Keep in mind that there are 18 different versions of the iPad 2 currently availiable to the US market.

(16GB + 32GB + 64GB) * (WiFi + AT&T + Verizon) * (White + Black) = 3 32 = 18

Mine still says "not shipped"
White 3G AT&T 16GB @ 1:07 AM PDT March 11th

I have a feeling the White 16GB AT&T 3G may be one of the versions that is taking longer to ship.
