MacBook Airs in Stores Tuesday or Wednesday?
Product banners and visuals will go up on Monday night in all Apple stores for the official launch on Tuesday, and the Genius Bar employees get their official training tomorrow.
....
UPDATE: Looks like it might be Wednesday now!
Steve Jobs had originally announced that the MacBook Air would be available starting 2 weeks after their announcement, which brings us to this Tuesday -- making this seemingly quite a likely claim. However, we have not heard independent confirmation, and BoyGeniusReport's reliability has been mixed.
Readers who have their MacBook Airs on pre-order are waiting in this discussion thread, ready to post photos when their MacBook Airs arrive. Meanwhile, for those waiting for the MacBook Pro updates, we've heard whispers about their imminent release.

Whats the point of pre-ordering if the stores get stock before the pre-orders?
It's happened that way several times before, unfortunately.
While its great that stores are getting availability so soon, I hope Apple honors the Pre-Orders many of us put in and ships before general store availability. Whats the point of pre-ordering if the stores get stock before the pre-orders?
Maybe they are now gonna be available in stores Wednesday so that they can ship on Tuesday for the Pre-Orders? That way Apple is covered? lol

Pre-ordering, in this case, simply means "You can order it now, but it won't ship for a few weeks," not "You'll be getting it before the Apple Stores do." If it's anything like their OS X pre-orders, it'll come in the mail the same day as they are launched in stores.

I sure hope so. But since a lot of our orders were "Prepared to ship" last week, only to mysteriously revert back to "Not Yet Shipped", im not too confident :(

I understand that. That fact doesn't make it less frustrating however. If stock is available (if the rumors are true that stores currently have stock), then it seems to not make much sense to keep the first buyers waiting while stock sits in a store.
