I might email them just enquiring, seeing as it's almost been 5 1/2 weeks. Also, other winners that aren't on this forum could also be wondering and it might prompt them to send out an update.

Hey Ben

I know we're getting close to the 6 weeks and I'd just like to apologize for the delay. We had some issues with the finishing touches on the iPads and wanted to make sure they turned out great which meant spending some more time on getting the art application perfect. We also had issues getting 32GB iPads so we're sending out 64 GBs instead.

Sadly it'll still be about a week I think before we are able to ship your iPad to you, again sorry for the delay but I'm sure you'll love it when you see it in person!

Thank,
Scott

There we go. About a week before they're sent, confirming the 64GB upgrade too.

Hopefully they've been sent, I haven't sent a follow up email because I didn't want to sound annoying!
If anyone else would like to check, I sent my email to scott@taptaptap.com (replied from my confirmation email from when I originally won).

Just had a conversation on Twitter with @Phillryu (Works at Macheist) and he says Colorware (the supplier) had been playing them around a bit. Expected time to arrive at Phill's place is this week. Let's hope it's actually this week this time, haha. If you want to stalk the conversation, my username is @bentoscano

Hey guys, ran into one final (hopefully) roadblock in the way, apparently I need your guys' phone numbers to be able to ship out internationally. Let me know with yours and I'll get them shipped out by tomorrow,

It must have gotten lost somewhere in the interwebs. I asked Phill to resend but he said he just got a long list of numbers without reference to who it belongs to. I didn't want to continue pestering more than we already have tongue
