So it appears only US customers who ordered the 1.6/80 configuration and had an originally shipping date of Feb 6th are currently shipping? Anybody not in that category who got to prepared for shipping or beyond?
Got a tip for us?

Prepared For Shipment
So my MBA status changed to Prepared For Shipment late last night. Got a little antsy and called to upgrade to a speedier shipping this morning, but was told once the order status changes, there's no way to alter the order.
Oh wells, have to wait till next Monday/Tuesday I guess!

6 months?
Don't know if anyone has noted this but today (January 29th) is exactly 6 months from the iPhone release (June 29th). Probably nothing but it would be pretty cool if it did get released today. My $0.02.

i agree. i talked to 4 different reps about getting overnight too and all told me that they could only 2-3 it from china.
as for my superdrive, it will be shipped 6th, arrive 8th.
i noticed something interesting though...
i have 2 macbook airs on order, one 1.6 80 and one 1.8 80 placed both with superdrives under two seperate transactions.
so the 1.6/80 is prepared for shipment, and under shipping method it says 2 days
though for the 1.8/80 it is still not yet shipped and under the shipping method it says 2-3 days.
weird, in that they were both upgraded to the same shipping.

interesting but i think they would hold a press conference for it if they do release a new iphone
Yeah. I called yesterday and I asked how much it would be and the lady said she'd upgrade me for free. She said she was just dying to get her hands on one. So, right now it says prepared for shipment, shipping 2/6 delivers 2/7.

Sorry, I just meant that it would be cool if the MBA came out today not a new phone. Two possibly revolutionary product from Mr. Steve.
Status changed this morning (or possibly overnight) to prepared - the MBA at least....ordered at 1:45pm the day of the Keynote coming to Vancouver, BC.
I did call and get upgraded shipping (for free) yesterday but I suspect that no matter how you ordered on Keynote day, you'll get faster shipping. This has happened before with my previous 12" Powerbook.
My dates are the same as your pM me if yours ships and I will do the same to you ;
haha, i know the feeling. yesterday when this thread started seeing prepared for shipment confirmations i started refreshing this thread and the apple store like crazy.
being the optimist, i just cleared my credit card to authorize the mba charge, so hopefully i see "shipped" tonight and skipping the "prepared for shipment" phase.

Will do!
i bet their going to hit the stores on friday - and anyone who ordered at macworld time will get them on friday - i waited until the next day to order mine so i bet mine changes to shipped tomorrow and i won't get it untill saturday.
i'm thinking of cancelling my order today and buying it at the store on friday - assuming my above premise is correct.
this is frustrating - i'm back in grade school waiting for santa to come.
what do you guys think?

I think thats the best theory so far. I'm not going to get all excited for a Wednesday launch and be disappointed again. (I've been up since 5:30am because I couldn't sleep) I am aiming for Friday too. Hopefully walk into my local Apple store and out with a new MBA!
I was at the Ridgedale Apple Store last night to get some help from the Genius Bar, and I noticed a few MacBook Air signs haning up. No sign of the actual units though.
An interesting note though... there are usually several genius' running around, but I didn't see more than two at one time. They kept going in the back. Maybe they were learning/testing out the Air back there?

And only 25k of them are yours
Still no update this side of the atlantic, and I can still cancel my order meaning it's still no closer to shipping for me.
