I second that; Roberts 7470 is from Gainesville, which means he probably goes to University of Florida. They have a kick-as$ digi-design program from what I know. Considering he's a newbie, it's possible the shots are doctored, though they certainly look legit.
IMPORTANT for all the people who currently have a mac with tiger or Leopard, and are anxiously awaiting their MacBook Air. There is an dashboard widget aptly named "OrderStatus" which will give you updated tracking information for all your Apple purchases (if you're like me, you're waiting for new Apple releases frequently, selling your barely used "newest release" every few months). I've attached a screenshot; I think if you don't already know have it, you too will find it indispensable. (you can get it here, http://www.dashboardwidgets.com/showcase/details.php?wid=1468).
So, back to cold, hard facts; does anyone else have status and tracking to pony up?

it's interesting that i ordered mine 8 minutes before you and yet yours shipped first. i wonder why that is?
well when i got my MBP (ordered day after the keynote) mine shipped a full day before my friend's who ordered an hour after the keynote....so it's possible
oh, yeah, i wasn't doubting that his shipped--i was just saying that it sucks that it's not in the order of ordering!
what apple said
I asked the apple.com chat person and this is what i got

Question to those of you who ordered the 1.8 and SSD:
Does your Air show up as a CTO order?
I stupidly one-click ordered one with iWork pre-installed. Then realized that the less customization the better (in terms of getting it faster), and so I deleted that item and then put one-clicked another which was just a 1.8/SSD with default options.
But it's listed as CTO. Is that the case for all 1.8/SSDs?

I have a hard time believing that since everything points to in stores next week.
Plus it is an internet chat agent. Just wondering how much access does he really have?
I will order mine ASAP as soon as I convince my parents that getting a product first gen is not bad!!!
I disagree, I bought first gen MacBook Pro, a month (or so) later they dropped the original 1.8ghz and bumped it up to 2.0/2.2, so I went from top to bottom even before I got mine!
Then bought iPhone 8gig 2 weeks after it came out....then the price drop!!! I still feel a little cheated. **/end sob story
But ill wait 6 months and it will be up to 2ghz or more with a 160gig drive. That I could go for
Mine ships on February 12th, arrive Feb 18th.
I bought the 1.8 SSD model.
It was $3,200 for a secondary laptop. I am nervous about this purchase because I am not sure the trade-offs--notably the lack of replaceable battery--will make the size worth it.
But I fly to Asia monthly, so hopefully not having to lug a 17" will be worth it. Fingers crossed.
Either way, I am excited to try it out...

I am also nervous about this too. I ordered the same as you and am a little concerned about how sturdy a notebook this thin will be. I am VERY easy on my notebooks but am worried about how this might handle being placed in a softcase. Still I am looking forward to getting it!
Yeah. They shouldn't have had enough. They really screwed us by being so prepared. Apple never suggested they had shortages nor that anyone should stand on line.
When did you order?
Also, what were the original projected dates for your shipment?
Finally, why is a 3lb notebook with no accessories shipping at 8.8 lbs?
Somthing like...
Packaging 4lbs
Discs, Power Supply, Cables & Plug adapter and other gubbins 1lb
You didn't honestly expect it to arrive in an enveloped did you ?

That made my morning.
Just a quick note to share the agony of waiting across the globe. Ordered through my local Apple dealer last week, they're hoping for first machines to arrive next week. Will be interesting to see if there are any differences in delivery times of differently specced models.
It still may be. 10.5.2 must be ready if machines have really started shipping (which it seems they have).
