Yes, I just got notification that my case is shipping....5 days earlier than originally stated. That's a good sign.
I just got notice that my iPad 10W USB Power Adapter shipped today, it originally had a ship date of "Late April" same as my iPad 3G. I keep telling myself this is a good sign, but I know a power adapter and iPad are two different things.
I thought that I would add a little tip about UPS deliveries that has helped me out in the past.
If you are not at home when the UPS person comes (e.g., you have to be at school or work), you can call UPS that day and ask them to have the driver leave the package at the distribution facility where you can go and pick it up that night. These centers are usually not too far of a drive from your home and are usually open until 7 PM. If you do this, it has been my experience that you need to call UPS and request this before about 5 PM so the driver can be notified before he/she clocks out for the night. Also be sure to bring a photo ID when you pick it up. This should save you from having to wait an extra day if you miss the delivery.

Mine too, but I don't think we can associate an early shipment of our iPad Cases, which were released on 4/3 but in low stock to a possible early shipment of our iPad 3G's which havn't even been given a solid release date yet.
Although I hope I'm wrong!
Prior to the WiFi shipments having been received this was brought up a lot in other threads and there were many, many posts that said UPS would not do this until they had one missed delivery.
Our UPS center closes at 5:30pm. The only time they're open here until 7 is Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Apple can't even keep up with wifi demand. This is looking more and more like April 30th.
Speaking of which, I went to BestBuy last night to try out the wifi version. Here's what I noticed.
Store Empty!
Apple Table with iPad!
I'm waiting for my 3g. Went to the Apple store today to show my wife the iPad. She thought it was cool so when I suggested I get her one she didn't resist! I told her if she ultimately doesn't like it we have 14 days to return it. I hope she likes it! And hopefully we can sell her HP laptop.
This is huge! She previously thought Apple products were like Satan spawn! Except her iPod of course!
So we'll be a 2 ipad family I gather there are a number of those already out there!
Yipee!!!
Ok ok I admit it would be a lie to say I didn't care about having an ipad to play with until the 3G arrives........

How does apple preordering work
Do you pay a deposit or in full
Can you pick it up from the store on release day or does it get posted to you
If it gets posted is delivery free

Pre-orders are charged in full to your credit card when shipped out. With a pre-order you cannot pick up in the store. A reservation allows you to pick up in the store on launch day.
I ordered a 3G w/ case and dock and both the dock and case arrived on April 5th.
a preorder will be charged when it is shipped and can only be shipped
a reservation simply means when you go to the apple store on release day they will have one waiting for you and you pay there
i hope its beginning of May, my BIG paycheck would be rolling in XD seriously, im gonna have only 500 dollars by then >.> if it was April 25th. . im guessing apple would call the shots of the date.
