Apple iPad plagued with delays

It looks as though Apples new wonder child the iPad is having it's first teething woes even before it's official birth.

Both WLAN and UMTS versions of the iPad are supposed to go on sale on April 3rd in the USA but it looks like the more expensive UMTS version will only be available at the end of April.

According to a report in digitimes Apple shifted it's orders of the iPad touch screens to another supplier back in March because of reported delays. Additionally Foxconn who is making the iPad for Apple was also not able to meet its production schedule in march either.

All the production problems with the iPad certainly won't make those who will undoubtedly go away on day one without one any happier. Those to do manage to get their hands on an iPad will be left waiting for accessories as it appears there are problems there too according to the shipping dates on the Apple Store.

Are you going to camp outside of an Apple store to get an iPad?
