i ordered at 10:23pm the day of the keynote
no status change for me
still "Not yet shipped"
now the question is... i ordered a 1.8/80 from amazon. apple isn't even shipping the CTO machines yet. so how long is the wait... 3 weeks? eek.
My credit card works this way. I have online access. I connect with my account, and look to see what my available balance is. If the cc shows a decrease in the available balance, ie difference equal to cost of MBA. Then I know that there is a hold on my cc for the MBA.
You could also call your cc service center.
Welcome to hell.
Here's what I don't get, though: The Apple Store page for the MBA lists two configurations... 1.6/80 at $1799, and 1.8/SSD at $3098. To me, neither of these is CTO/BTO, since they are "stock" configurations according to the page. To me, a CTO/BTO machine would be, say, a 1.8/80, because that requires that you specifically select a CPU upgrade. This one reason why I am a touch concerned that the 1.8/SSD should take much longer to ship than the "base" 1.6/80.
EDIT: My MBA SuperDrive just changed to "Prepared for Shipment"!
From what I understand any MBA with an SSD. Those models will be the last to begin shipping.
Someone asked a question about what the difference is between Mac Pro, MBP, MB, and MBA, installation disks.
Firmware.
Firmware.
My Superdrive just switched to "Prepared to Ship". No change for the Air itself.
Also, anyone see this?

oo true, I didnt read properly. When did you order? I ordered on the 17th and still no change. My shipping date is on the 8th feb..
I ordered on the 17th as well. No change in mine either. Probably got a better shot of getting one from local Apple Store later this week.
I just called Apple to see if it was an authorization or a charge, they said it was an authorization and the rep. gave me the same information that is on the status page, which we all know is wrong.
Not sure what's going on since Apple already authorized the card when I placed the order...

I ordered immediately after the keynote on the 15th (within one hour of the Apple Store coming back online). MBA 1.8/SSD ship date still shows as Feb 6, but it's looking hopeful that it's not going to take that long.
