Apple iPad Confirmed for May
Despite the thousands of disappointed fans all over the world, many are still eagerly awaiting the much delayed launch of the Apple iPad. In what seems to be the cruelest way to announce a major problem in keeping up with schedule, Apple declared that due to the large demand of the iPad in the US, the international release of the device has been delayed for a full month.
Of course, it is difficult for Apple not to antagonize their fans because of this announcement. After all, it obviously means that Apple will be catering to the US market exclusively for another month as they completely ignore the rest of the world. While it may be a wise move for the business, it certainly does nothing to make the wait easier to deal with.
The core of the problem here is that Apple failed to order a sufficient amount of iPad continuously. Maybe this means that the company did not believe that the device would sell so well in the first place. In any case, the bottom line here is that someone should have foreseen this little problem and pre-empted the situation before it even happened.
Anyway, mobile network operators have already declared the availability of the device by the end of May as well as announced that pre-orders would be available starting on the 10th of May. This is a little more comforting than Apple’s previous declaration that the device would be out by the end of April (if they delay even further at this point, they will risk antagonizing the operators and distributors as well).
The Apple iPad comes with a 10 inch rotating touch screen display and can be used to browse the internet, read eBooks, play videos and music as well as play various apps.
