Ok to have that information I am pretty stoked right now. I hope it really is true. Seeing estimated shipping and delivery date makes it much more believable at this point in my opinion.
Same dates I have. Here's hoping.

The link in my order confirmation email. Once you get to the page with the terrible image in the middle of it on the top of the page it says order status. Click that link and enter your order number and your order date which is yesterdays date. That should give you the right information then.

woot! HP finally shipped! I guess either because I called to escalate? Or just coincidence

Either way looks like my 32GB is just two days away!!

Not long less than 5 minutes.

i complained that I ordered last friday and its almost a week no with no shipment. He put me on hold and said he escalated to a manager and will receive shipping notification today. i did.

So its worth a shot.

P.S. I chose the standard shipping when I ordered but seems they sent it 2 day via fedex. Not sure if this was because i escalated as well or not.

Good luck!

Few more observations

Looks like HP actually shipped mine out yesterday but did not update the HP order status page till just now.

Also I still have not received any emails from HP regarding that my item shipped, only way I know it shipped is because I manually checked. Not it makes sense why the guy on the phone assured me that I would be receiving ship notification today because he probably could see that it shipped yesterday but I couldn't.

So yours may have shipped already, but they haven't updated the you HP account status page yet.

^^ They are most likely so backed up with this, you'll get shipping notice after it's in your hands.

Well the person with the Craigslist add for $185 for 32gb updated and said you could contact via email so I sent an email saying I would like one of the 32gb they have coming. I was going to ask for more but at this point I will hope my 2 16gb coming from SMB are still real.

Watch out for a potential scam. Sales like these bring out the scammers hardcore.

As an owner of both an iPad and iPad2, I must say that Day 1 with the Touchpad and I am very impressed. I have installed the homebrew and all of the recommended patches and this thing has significantly sped up. The WebOS community seem to very nice individuals and with the firesale of the Touchpad, I foresee much more opportunity on the application side.
