Ship dates?

So I just checked into my account online, and under Ship Date, for the Pi I ordered on 29 Feb., it says "30 March". I know there was some confusion over ship dates early on, so thought I'd ask - is this ship date shown in my account roughly accurate? I would be oh so happy to receive my Pi in a couple weeks.

the only problem I see with this hype, they hit the wrong audience - geeks, tinkerers and hackers have seen lots of vapourware in their time and either you hold on to your promises or you are bust.

I'm curious as to where everyone is getting their ship dates from. I ordered from Newark Canada and I have only ever gotten one date (10 May) from the Order Confirmation email at 8AM 29 Feb. My order status does not show any date, still backordered.

The only date that changes is the expected lead times on the RPi (item #83T1943) page at Newark. Until recently it was into August and every day it got later by another day. As of today when I looked, those days have been set to 15 May. However, I see those dates whenever I go on the page and are no way linked to my order status.

when you go to your order history you can click on the order number and it will show your more details. on the verry right side of the screen you should see and expected shipping date.

I wonder why Newark allows you to place an order as you would for a normal product, whereas Farnell doesn't allow that and always redirects you to Element 14's "register your interest" page instead. It's supposed to be one and the same company, isn't it?

I'm in the same boat, ordered early 29 Feb got a March 30 est ship date.....until this morning when my estimated ship date was changed to Aug 16. What's up? I have guys that I work with that had to fill out the infamous "Express your interest" form and were invited to order just last week and they have an April 20 est ship date. Do these dates even mean anything at all? I'm confused......:(

Just in case Marc isn't around at the moment:

Some in the US are reporting an email saying your order has been moved back to August - not right, and we're getting it looked into.
