Nope. "In transit" means it's loaded onto a plane. When it lands in Anchorage, you get "Arrived at FedEx location, Anchorage, Alaska".

After "Left Origin", you get "Picked up", then "In transit".


My status started with Data Transmitted, then Picked Up (missed cut off), left origin, and the current status is "In Transit."

your's and mine are on the same plane hope it ships and we get it friday let me know Pm me again :)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your package isn't in transit to Anchorage yet, so you're not going to get it on Friday. It has to get to Alaska, and that won't happen until late morning / early afternoon Alaska time on Friday now.

Phooey! At least I don't live close to an Apple Store, or else I'd be tempted to pick one up there...

Apple has put a pending transaction on both my credit cards so I guess that's a start. Only problem is that the second card - a debit mastercard - was supposed to have $298.42 placed on it and I have a pending charge of $666.42. Which my bank has taken out of my available balance :confused: I called and no one really had any clue as to what was going on. THis is my first Apple computer, is their customer service always so screwy??????

it's day 1 officially right now based on apples press release

No, there is a guy here who ordered on the 16th (nearly the 17th!) and his order has been shipped. Meanwhile, nobody in the UK has shipped, even if they ordered right after the keynote on the 15th!

The iPhone took time because there was not mobile service provider secured here. Computers usually arrive here at the same time as in the USA. I got my Mac Pro at the Apple Store on the day after it was announced in January (which matched the what occurred in the USA). That's the norm, and pre-orders are pre-orders. As it looks, despite the fact that we pre-ordered, Americans will be able to walk into a store and buy an Air long before we have ours in our hands. That strikes me as a poor decision on Apple's part, particularly after the Touch debacle with pre-orders. The UK is a very big market for Apple. They should treat us as such here, and clearly they aren't.
