Bizarrely, my Apple Case order is Prepared for Shipment, but the 32GB 3G + Orange SIM + Camera Kit isn't.
Yep same as mine. Ordered 12:29GMT, confirmed half an hour later. Looks like ours is still stuck at the back of a china mans bench while he goes home early for the weekend.

I too am getting pretty anxious... I've had a couple of calls with Apple and they've all told me different things, so who know what's really going to happen.
I got a 32 GB 3G w/ Camera kit and the MobileMe deal (order placed at 7:30GMT, confirmed at 11:07 BST) - still showing not yet shipped on both US and UK.
Did everyone else receive detailed shipping info (ie for each item?) My confirmation doesn't list shipping info for each item (it's just blank) and the estimated delivery date is blank, too...

lol my ipad started off 14 seconds behind yours, later on the times become identical.
Looks like there's no rhyme or reason to orders been shipped, as people who ordered later than other members are being shipped first....
My 3G 64Gb is showing as "Prepared for Shipping" on the US site.
Still showing as "Estimated shipping: by May 28th" on the UK site.
So I went back and looked at my original confirmation...
The Vodafone sim appears to be the hold-up.
I better not get delayed due to a 20p bit of feckin' plastic!

Well, I just tried ringing Apple in the US. Hoping to find out why mines held up and if it's the dreaded bank thats the problem. Nice chap, but he had no details of the order number even though I can look at it on their website. But what he did say was there are shipping delays out of China at the moment because of "issues" in the country. He did say the UK number will be manned tomorrow.
Hmm, I wonder if any of the 'Prepared for Shipment' will get shipped this evening or whether it will be left until Monday now. I can't imagine any changes now as it is the middle of the night in China (he says as he hits refresh on tracking widget ) and I'm not sure if they ship them on weekends.
) and I'm not sure if they ship them on weekends.Update:
U.S. Store says - Prepared for Shipment - Ships: Delivers by May 28th
U.K. Store says - Not yet Shipped - Estimated shipping: Delivers by May 28th
Both have the greyed out link to "cancel items" so I guess the U.S store is more up to date!
It isn't that, there is just no 'Prepared for Shipment' text on the UK store, don't know why.

Ordered 64GB WiFi at 06:29 UK time 10th May and now showing 'Prepared for shipment' on US site and 'Not yet shipped' on UK site. Interestingly, earlier today the cancel order link was still blue on the UK site (around lunchtime) and now it's greyed out suggesting that the iPad is now allocated to me - Ho hum. We'll see.
Sorry about me being a post a minute! But, I have found this which may be of interest, in particular to Boblister It is to do with Apple's policy on payments:

Thank's I had seen that. As far as I know everything is go on the payment front. Plus the bank assure me everything is fine. No idea why my order is sat there exactly the same as it was on the 10th at 12:29GMT.
Do you still have the option to cancel? If so, I feel your pain, especially with your extra precautions. No justice.

Yes I can still cancel. No change. Just goes to show that waiting for the shop to open at that time in the morning was a total waste of time.
Same boat here. No movement on the order and still have the option to cancel. It shouldn't make any difference though. I don't think anyone will get them before Friday.
Ours are still sat on some bench in China while the boat sails off into the sunset.
