I also called the 5th ave Apple store and for 20 minutes there was 6 calls ahead of me. So I guess some other folks are calling a little early too LOL.

Nah, that's just people calling to make an appointment with a Genius because their 2nd gen iPod isn't working properly

Wouldn't it be easier just to make a Google Doc and share it instead of bloating up the thread with these huge posts that take up pages? Makes the rest of us think that something is going on when there is 5 new pages since last time we checked.

ok so mine still hadn't shipped this morning so i figure there is no way i'd get it by friday like some of you so i cancelled - we still don't know if it will hit the stores on friday - but i can't imagine that if people get them on friday that they will hit the stores 3 or more days later (monday tues wed seem like odd launch days) - it has to be around the same time. i think apple likes friday launch days. we'll see if i'm right.

I just called 5th ave store and got through. The gentleman stated "First week in February" they would be receiving them. Well wouldn't Friday be the beginning of the first week in February?

I cannot wait anymore!!!! I'm actually getting so sick and tired of the wait I might as well get a MacBook Pro. Ahh but that MBA is so sexy...

I think everything is leaning towards Friday in stores.

Dude I hear you. I've been waiting for this computer since November when my company decided to "upgrade" me from a 4.5 pound Toshiba to a 7 pound Dell :( As soon as the keynote was over I got on the Apple site and chatted with an agent to decide exactly what I wanted and than ordered it at 11:46am, with 2-3 day shipping. Its still in the Not Yet Shipped phase. I got the 1.6/80 but added the iworks pre-installed - no idea that would delay shipping. If I would have known I would have bought it seperately. If the MBA wasn't so dang perfect for what I need - I'm a physical therapist and have to carry it around all day - I'd go and buy a regular MacBook. Impatience is turning into frustration

Even the most minor of customizations means that they can't send you one of the prepackaged stock options. It's not that complicated.

I think your better bet is to try and get one from a store now.

Some one post the fedex list of stops if you were the first to ship.

Only China is listed so far...

Just got this reply from Amazon:

For what it's worth:

Thanks for writing to us at Amazon.com.

Item ordered: "Apple MacBook Air MB003LL/A 13.3" Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive)".

Our latest information indicates that the above item has not yet been released and the expected release date is not known. As soon as a release date has been determined for this item, we will add that information to our web site.

While we are confident that copies will be made available, we cannot
provide more precise information about the fulfillment of the order.
In light of this uncertainty, we will understand if you would prefer
to cancel your order. As of yet we have made no changes.

You may cancel orders yourself on our web site. Simply click on the
"Your Account" link at the top of our home page and select the link
that says "Cancel items or orders." After signing in with your e-mail
address and password, you will be able to cancel your order for any
item that has not yet entered the shipping process.

If you cannot wait further and if the above item is available at some other physical store, then we suggest you to please cancel this order and go ahead with purchasing it at a different outlet.

Here why we are saying this is because for us more than our business customer convenience and satisfaction is more important. We don't want to make you wait for this item.

Thank you for showing so much of patience and for choosing Amazon.com for shopping.


Not very encouraging, but this is also the standard stuff they usually send when they just don't know-or they don't want to give the info out yet. In my experience with new Apple products, they have always shipped sooner than later, so here's hoping this is no exception to that.

But, the good news is this...

Estimated delivery
Feb 1, 2008 by 10:30 AM

This is the first time that FedEx is giving me a delivery date/time. Prior to this, only the Apple email had the Feb 1 date, and due to missing the shipping cutoff the previous day in China, I was worried this first batch would all bump to Monday delivery.

Assuming no random customs check on my box in Alaska, I'll have it in two days!

For those of you waiting for amazon orders...

don't forget that the air is ready when it's ready. It's not ready for people or apple stores any sooner than amazon. If they started shipping, they shipped to people and apple stores and amazon at the same time. It will take you longer to get your notebook, however long it takes for amazon to receive and turn around your product is going to be your delay...
