I got a shipping notification and tracking number from Microsoft. Strangely it is only for the Surface Pro 2 even though I ordered the cover at the same time. The purple type cover is not listed on the confirmation and the amount they charged is only the tablet plus tax.
I got a shipment notification this morning for just my tablet as well. I had also ordered a keyboard and wireless connector at the same time. I did talk to MS yesterday and they told me all 3 would ship by the 21st. They must be packing just the tablets at this point.
Mine shipped today too, but of course the tracking number does not compute for UPS...the hang-up is probably that they had 50 Pro 2 256/8s in Redmond, and I am the 51st shippee, so mine comes from the storage location in McMurdo Sound. At least there will not be any overheating problems - that vapor Mg case will hold the McMurdo Sound cold for about 2 years. Sigh...its gonna be a long time until the 22nd (or late the 21st??).
