I am getting feedback from iPad 3G customers who are checking their order status on Apple’s website and reporting that their status is now showing “Prepared for Shipment.”
This would indicate that iPad 3G’s are about to shipped out today, and right on schedule for US based customers to receive their iPad 3G’s by Friday – as Apple promised.
If you didn’t pre-order your iPad 3G then no worries my friend – just show up at an Apple store on Friday after 5pm and Apple says they will be there.
But realize that the availability of the iPad 3G on Friday afternoon will be on a first come first serve basis – so you might want to join the line that is more than likely going to start forming well before 5pm.
Let us know when your iPad 3G arrives!

Having ordered on March 12 (early to beat the rush) gets me the privalage of getting my ipad 3g later. I thought we that pre-ordered would have our Ipad by April 30, not "shipped" on April 30. What the hell , it still feels like Christmas. I haven't had this much anticipation since Santa brought me my first Playboy Bunny :) I will be waiting in teh drive for my FedEx man to arrive. Cheers!!!!

I ordered my iPad 3G April 10th and have yet to see my order status update. I have had the funds go on hold on my bank account twice since April 10th and the secound time has now dropped off since it was never finalized from apple and the funs are now available to me again. I hope mine updates today as this is driving me crazy!
Says "Prepared for Shipment " for me
wish mine said that! Mine just says "Not yet shipped". :-(
I've had the exact same experience. Ordered maybe an hour after they started accepting pre-orders, have had a hold on my card twice, the second one just dropping off this morning. Still no update on order status. Wonder what that means? I'm very tempted to cancel the pre-order before the status changes and just to wait in line...
Ordered mine on the 4th of this month.. Still says "Not yet shipped" but I'm assuming since I got the email a couple weeks ago " You will still get it by the promised 'Late April' " that I will still get it by Friday! Apple, don't let me down!
"Prepared for shipment" on mine too!!! :)
I just got off the phone with apple, (I know I know..) and they told me that my iPad shows that it will be delivered Friday the 30th and that the shipping details should update by tomorrow.
