I ordered iPads for my wife and myself on May 26th. The wait is really driving me crazy. I was kinda interested in the iPad until I played with one in store, then I fell in love. My order status just changed from "Not yet shipped" to "Prepared for shipment". Does anyone know how long it usually takes to switch from "Prepared for shipment" to "Shipped"?

Sure thing! Although, unfortunately there is a remote possibility I may yet survive this ordeal.

Wow! I feel lucky they had them in stock when my wife bought me an early anniversary gift last Friday. 64GB iPad wi-fi. Hang in there, the wait will be worth it!

I managed picking one up locally to me at the weekend! 64gb wi-fi version...
This is by far the best thing I've ever bought! I don't want to ignite the flash row, but I just haven't found myself going to sites that use flash! I'm unsure if that's that subconsciously I know it won't work or if my browsing habits aren't flash intensive!!!!

I know the wait must be painful but trust me, just like everyone else has stated, it's is worth the wait!

Thanks for all the words of encouragement! It looks like my iPads are still "Prepared for shipment". They are scheduled to arrive on June 15th, I hope they come sooner!
