iPad ab Ende Mai verfügbar

Apple ist selbst überrascht von dem riesen großen Absatz des iPads allein in den USA. 500000 Stück wurden in der ersten Woche verkauft und die Produktion hinkt ein wenig hinterher. So ist nun leider der internationale iPad Verkauf ein paar Tage in die Ferne gerückt. So kommt das Apple Tablet ab Ende Mai 2010 in die Läden und ist ab dem 10. Mai vorbestellbar. Die Info gibt es auch auf der offiziellen Apple iPad Webseite.

Hier die offizielle Pressemitteilung:

CUPERTINO, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ —

Apple today released the following statement:

Although we have delivered more than 500,000 iPads during its first week, demand is far higher than we predicted and will likely continue to exceed our supply over the next several weeks as more people see and touch an iPad™. We have also taken a large number of pre-orders for iPad 3G models for delivery by the end of April.

Faced with this surprisingly strong US demand, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the international launch of iPad by one month, until the end of May. We will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on Monday, May 10. We know that many international customers waiting to buy an iPad will be disappointed by this news, but we hope they will be pleased to learn the reason-the iPad is a runaway success in the US thus far.
