I was at an Apple location over the weekend, picking up my aging PB from Applecare, and the head Genius said "the 1st week of February" for in the stores and gave sort of "cannot confirm or deny that they are already sitting in the back of the store waiting to sell"...
My bet is that they have already been shipped to the stores, which is causing the rumors, but that they do not appear until the 5th or 6th.
I'll be in Manhattan tomorrow morning on business, as soon as I get out of my meeting I will be calling the 5th Ave store. If they are on sale then I will have to take a later train

gizmodo updated their review again and they're now seeing charge times of 3 hours with either the air magsafe or the mbp magsafe.
i'm relieved to hear that since i was getting awfully close to confirming the cancellation of my preorder

Apple, come on already and ship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I called Apple Customer service to try and change my shipping to overnight and it was a no go, since I have a custom configuration it comes from China and 2-3 days is the fastest shipping method. It sounded like non-custom MBAs are possible already in the USA however. I am sick of carrying around this 7 pound Dell Monster (my company bought it not me)
It sounds like I am not the only one who will be migrating away from my company supplied machine.
Has anyone else considered how to deal with Active Directory authentication without support from your Lan Admins?
Also has anyone else tested out Office 2008 Exchange Compatibility?

Do u think the release of it in ireland will be the same as the US? I mean, will it hit stores on the same day here as well?? I ordered mine last nite...n i got a mail from apple saying my delivery date will be 8th march!!!!!
Ordered my MBA Jan 19
I live in USA Northwest corner.
Ordered my CTO 1.6 GHz MBA w/SSD via phone on Jan 19.
It's ship date is Feb 12 and delivery Est. Feb 18.
Also ordered the 1 TB Time Capsule and it's ship date is Feb 29 with delivery Est. Mar 6.
Will be comforting to be able to see MBA in person prior the my ship date just in case I wish to change my mind and Cancel out.
I also wonder if Leopard 10.5.2 will be released in time for supporting the MBA and the Time Capsule.

I'm a LAN admin for AD and Exchange by day so I might be able to help.
AD is simply a central authentication system that provides single sign on for AD clients. You can still access resources from your Mac, you'll just have to authenticate each time. You can save time by storing your credentials in keychain. You'll have to have a windows computer to sign into in order to reset your password if your environment requires it. If there is a Terminal Services or Citrix server, you can do it from your mac by signing into one of those servers using the appropriate client. MS Terminal Services and Citrix, both have good Mac clients.
As for Exchange, you can use Entourage. Exchange is licensed per user and as such each CAL (client access license) includes a license for the client software. Whether your Exchange admin will admit it or not, a copy of Entourage comes shipped with every Exchange media pack. If he doesn't want give it to you, find it online and rest assured, your company owns the license.
If you don't want to use Entourage -- which works pretty well -- then you can use Mail.app and Address Book which work ok if IMAP is enabled on the Exchange server. Address Book will even sync with your Exchange address book out of the box. The biggest missing piece is calendar, which you can buy a 3rd party plug-in (Groupcal) or login to OWA whenever you want to send or accept apointments.
The nice thing about using Entourage is it syncs with Address book and iCal so it makes it much easier.
Thanks Cyber! I thought i'd give it another shot, after being shot down yesterday. I just called and they changed my order to overnight too! Im getting more excited now!
Upgraded Shipping!
I called just a few minutes ago and the very nice woman on the phone upgraded me to free overnight shipping. Guys, you all have to try this, since it's so ridiculously easy!

MBA should come to pre-orders customers before the store
I just got off of the phone with Apple Sales and the rep told me that it was there policy to ship pre-orders before the store or anyone else gets the product. I guess we'll all find out in the next day or two since it appears that nobody has gotten any shipping confirmations as of yet?

Guys you are so welcome....mine also ships the 6th and delivered the 7th....really think they are in the US....and the preparing to ship, was it coming to the US..cross your toes
someone here tried to get the overnight shipping calling apple germany? or is that not an option for europe?
upgraded
Apple does have the nicest people on their phones. She said 2-3 days to get to US, then can overnight. She can't control the shipping part to US.
She upgraded for free once I suggested that some of the people on this websites were getting it comped...
Everyone should try. She said they will ship before they sell in store. Obviously that doesn't include shipping time (at least that was what I perceived from her).
I don't yet see the upgraded shipping on my order status. It still says Ship by 2/6 and deliver by 2/12.... Maybe it will change later

Thats interesting, my order status changed within a min of me getting off the phone with costumer service. However, when i asked if she knew when they were possibly going to ship, she said " Not before the first of Feb"
I heard somewhere the macbook air's may be in Apple stores by Tuesday. Anyone else hear this??? I hope its true cause I wanna go check em out to see if I might get one.
I have talked to both an Apple Store rep, and then the nice lady on the phone, and neither of them seemed to know when the MBA would arrive. The person at the Apple Store answered me this way: "Wedonothavethemacbookairandwedontknowwhenwellgetthem." I swear, it was just that rehearsed...
You guys are something...
You guys act like FedEXing your packages is so cheap. Overnight shipping with major couriers is super expensive and it adds up when impatient people like you nickle and dime them.
Apple gave you guys no specific date on when you should get them and you start whining and demanding fre overnight shipping. its because of your rants for free crap that makes patient people like the rest of us have to take the hit for other nonsense charges from Apple like ipod touch upgrades and wireless n activators. Admit it or not, those opportunities to gain lost revenue.
I just find it hilarious how people think they deserve special treatment due to loyalty. its like when people demand free stuff from cell phone carriers because they pay their bills on time.. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO!!!
Just pipe down and get back to freakin work and worry other more important crap you iPhone-halo noobs.
