I just cancelled my second order. This whole prepared to ship, might ship thing got me a lil spooked and I dont want to be sitting around with a delay. So, I'm just going to pick one up at apple retail, or my school book store and get the discount.
Mine went back to Not shipped yet also, as I now call BS on all those who have said they have had them ship...just think we can do this all over again 
still think they will ship by tomorrow
nope. MacWorld was the 13th right? so they should ship the 27th. if these things are going out on the 6th and arriving on the 11th. The retail store is starting to look like a much better option.
10.5.2 release requirement?
I am watching so many forums right now I do not remember where I saw this, but someone was speculating that 10.5.2 NEEDS to be released before the MBA's go out.
SJ said the CD/DVD sharing software was on the restore disk, so why do we need to wait for this release. If it is true, some are speculating that it will be released Friday.

jep, back to "Not yet shipped".. crap..
I'am speculating the same: this is because of the Software, not because of something else.

maby they got a problem that every time the crateof mba's pass some guy watching a porno on his dvd drive on laptop all other mba's start playing that?
mine is not yet shipped the whole time (germany)
so what exactly is the difference between not yet shipped and prepared to shipment?
steve said 2-3 weeks, so i don't think we'll get our mbas next week
but i just can't wait any longer...damn i'm like a little child

aight, why don't we put it like that: the first macbook air's were ready to ship, then macOS got a major update (presumably 10.5.2) and they decided to update the macbook air's. this means, after the update (a few hours maybe?) the beauty's will be shipping, so I indeed also think that they'll ship very soon..
I just found this forum/post, and I must say, i'm pretty excited about the mba. But while we're all waiting for them to arrive at our doorsteps or the stores that we ordered them through, I'm wondering if anyone else got a good deal when buying their new MBA or did you pay full Apple price for it? Just another way to pass the time.
The Apple online store knocked $100.00 off when I called to cancel my order a few days ago. I was cancelling because I had decided to order my MBA from Amazon instead (which is where I usually get my Macs unless I need a custom configuration). Amazon would still be cheaper by around $30.00 dollars because of the no tax and I have a $25.00 credit, but I figured that I would probably get my MBA quicker if I ordered from Apple. I still have the Amazon order in place-whoever ships first, gets my business!
One thing about Amazon that I love is they have a no hassle returns/exchange policy as well as a price adjustment policy for 30 days, so if there's any problem at all or price drop, they'll take care of it with no issue-great CS!
I just spoke with apple's online store, asking them why my status went from "prepared to ship" to "not ready to ship". I was told that the macbook airs are being held right now because they need to recieve an update first. So there guess is that none will be shipped before the first of the month.
Maybe Apple just got tired of all of us constantly refreshing the order status page.
PERFECT
This is a bit OT but for you MBA purchasers, I just did a comparison of specs between all the portables and the MB and MBP both have battery life of 6 hrs. (maximum time) but the Air's battery life is listed as 5 hrs. wireless productivity.
1. What does wireless productivity mean (in comparison to "maximum time")?
and 2. How does 5hrs make this a better portable machine than the MB or MBP?

means it's with Wifi turned on and that drains alot of battery life
while the rating for the MB and MBP for "maximum time" means lcd at low brightness..and wifi bluetooh all off. with all that on it will prob go down to 2-3 hours
I would think maximum time is bluetooth and wifi turned off. Screen probably dimmed as well.
MBA battery times are supposed to be with all wireless features turned on.
