I ordered my iPad on May 5th, and just got shipment notice this morning. Per FedEx tracking it was picked up in SHENZHEN CN, and delivery should be on the 20th.
Welcome, glad you joined us! At least you know it is on the way. Use this time to be sure you are updated to the latest iTunes, check out some apps....etc.......
I know what you mean mbradeis, the wait is killing me 2! The last status i got on the apple site said "prepared for shipment" and then the site went down for maintenance so i can't even tell if it shipped yet or not. arrrrgh. lol.
Wow! I'm wearing out my F5 key refreshing my order status and I also have to wait until Friday next week.
