“Delays of two weeks or more are expected before new orders of the Apple iPad are delivered to customers because of strong demand for the tablet computer,” Kylie Davis reports for The Sydney Morning Herald.
“Freight company TNT is reported to be struggling to deliver the 20,000 orders across the country, with buyers being told their purchases should arrive before June 7, while those placing new orders are being advised of two-week delays,” Davis reports.
“One million iPads were sold in just 28 days in the US, and that huge demand delayed the worldwide launch,” Davis reports. “In Australia 30,000 were sold on the first day, with 20,000 more expected to be sold over the weekend.”

So, does that make two cardiologists a paradox?
hahaha, I had to think about both of those jokes.
How many millions have to be sold before the iPad stop being a useless device?
The moment the user becomes useful.

Only if they specialize in Mallards.

Ampar:
What would you price Padzilla at?
I think the pair pressure is getting to Ampar.
The price of a magical and revolutionary daikaiju is unbelievable.
(AppleCare is highly recommended.)

Ampar, your puns work much better in English. I’m just sayin’.
“pair pressure” Nice! Though I’d be nonplussed if I didn’t know how that added up.
You do not say?
I guess it goes without saying then! Hmmm.

How long before there’s a pop song for the iPad like Pac-Man Fever?
I love this site; but almost all posts are angry or serious. It’s nice to have a little humor for a change.

Pretty damn impressive for a device all the naysayers said no one wanted…
“You know, I’m a big believer in touch and digital reading, but I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen and a real keyboard – in other words a netbook – will be the mainstream on that,”
“So, it’s not like I sit there and feel the same way I did with iPhone where I say, ‘Oh my God, Microsoft didn’t aim high enough.’ It’s a nice reader, but there’s nothing on the iPad I look at and say, ‘Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it.’”
