iPad Wi-Fi + 3G Pre-Orders Now Shipping in U.S.

Just one day before they are due to arrive in customers' hands around the United States, iPad Wi-Fi + 3G pre-orders are finally beginning to see mass shipping confirmations from Apple. As noted yesterday, shipments had been staged in various locations around the country, enabling the rapid delivery times.
Several customers have reported that their orders are shipping via standard overnight service, with delivery scheduled to occur before 3:00 PM. Those who have not pre-ordered but are looking to pick up a 3G-capable iPad can attempt to secure one when they go on sale in retail stores at 5:00 PM tomorrow.

I'm hoping that my conformation shows up today. I definitely have been more excited about this device then anything I can remember. Not sure if I could bear the stress of having to wait any longer than Friday. This week has already CRAWLED by! :p

I received mine around 30 min ago via FedEx direct from China, even though the shipping said expected delivery date of 5/3.

Anyone who has the SHipping notice want to post what Apple is using for Reference Number with Fedex?

Nothing yet, but I'm sure all who have the late April shipping listed will have theirs tomorrow. I miss having an iPad, I returned my wi-fi 2 weeks ago and it's been such a long 2 weeks!

is this 3G thing even popular? I mean any way of gauging how many people pre-ordered it compared to wifi?

Mine still says not yet shipped (64G 3g), ships late April, I guess technically tomorrow is still late April. I hope it ships soon though. Called apple support this morning too just to make sure there weren't any problems and they said that everything was fine and it would ship late april. He said the status would update when the carrier picked it up and updated their system.
