Thanks to an order acknowledgment email from our rabid reader Ryan Phillips, we were able to get an update on the MacBook Air ship date. Everyone wants to know when the world's thinnest notebook will arrive into the hands of Mac faithful. Ryan selected two day air shipping and ordered his device on January 15th. Apple told Ryan he can expect his shipment to go out on February 6th with delivery on the 8th though marked the 11th, which is the next business day. UPDATE: We were just told that Ryan's MacBook Air shipped today January 30th and will arrive on Friday, February 1st confirming reports claiming the same. [Engadget ]
When you pre-order a MacBook Air online you will not receive a ship date confirmation on your ultra-thin notebook until close to the final purchase order screen. The Apple online store staff are still vague about exactly when you can expect arrival of your MacBook Air purchase. The Apple Store is now saying "a couple of days" for in store arrivals.

I just checked my Apple store account order status and it showed my MacBook Air shipped today and I should have it by Friday 2nd day shipment. I was shocked! Excellent news!
