Twitter abuzz with news that iPads have started shipping

I think the more accurate headline would be "iPad tracking numbers are being sent out, UPS to hold delivery until 4/3."

Nothing really notable here, Apple products always ship a bit before the official launch day and are held until launch day for delivery. They've been doing this for years.

I got a notification this morning that mine shipped ... but the tracking number is not showing up in UPS's system yet.
