I just finished ordering my 64 gig Air for pick up in Delaware- worth the hour drive for tax free shopping on big items- went for the silver/white. I was hoping the gold tone would have been available . Looked good on the iPhone. back to bed too
Ordered Verizon 32gb space grey at 2:01am. Could have waited until 6:00am this morning my normal wake-up time because it was still available to order for pickup...oh well I wouldn't have been able to sleep anyway for fear that the store in my area wouldn't have what I wanted...
I, too, got up at 12:00 am PST to order my iPad Air (only 12:01 PST was actually 3:00 am my time! 
). I already received my notice that it's ready for me to pickup, along with my Product Red cover.
I'll go get it at the mall in about another hour or two. I want to wait until the rest of the stores in the mall are open - got to see if I can find me some shoes!
Very easy process, too. My iPhone's alarm goes off, I open the Apple store app, pick out the iPad and the cover, elect in-store pickup and buy it. Took about 5 minutes and I was laying back down to finish the night's sleep.
Modern technology at its finest!

Like others, I got up at 0250 on Friday morning having practiced on the store.apple.com webpage earlier in the evening. The store went live at 0302 (sted 0301 as promised!), by 0306 i had spent about $1,000 on a 128 GB, WiFi, AT&T, Silver and Black iPad Air. That included about 60 seconds of trying to decide whether to get the free engraving and whether that would mean I couldn't pick up my iPad later that day.
By the time I got up and checked at about 0730 I had a message saying it was ready for pick-up. After doing some actual work, I drove to the Pentagon City (Arlington, VA) store and got there at about 0915. There were two places to line-up: 1 for pre-orders, and one for drop-ins. Neither had anyone waiting. I was greeted by a ... greeter, who said someone would be with me shortly. Shortly and woman - hearing impaired, signaled to me that I should follow her. Between hand signals (to show her my ID) and typing on her ipad (would I like help setting up my new device?) We worked through the process.
With all of that I was out of the store by about 0915.
Wonder if there's some new government program that could use Apple's help in how to serve their customers?
