“Apple today quietly pushed the ship times for iPad 2 online orders back once again, now estimating new purchases at 3 weeks to a month,” Josh Lowensohn reports for CNET.
“The new shipping times, along with sellouts, and limited model availability at retail stores (including its own), are a clear sign that Apple is having a tough time meeting demand,” Lowensohn reports. “A similar situation took place during the first launch, leading to Apple pushing back its international launch, which for the iPad 2 is less than two weeks away.”
Lowensohn reports, “Online sales of the iPad 2 kicked off at 1 a.m. PT yesterday, and quickly went from 3 to 5 days to 2 to 3 weeks, the latter of which had held until just a few hours ago.”

I’ve been an apple advocate always but failing to have adequate units available after releasing them is abominable. Create the hype and then disappoint. We then have to waste our time calling every store, waiting in line, and then still not get one. Come on Apple, have some dignity next time since you took ours away.
Looking through your blog a thought occurred in my experience. I’ll tell anyone honestly that today you will discover so many MMORPGs that I are not aware of what is the perfect play. Again and once more produced some new game which is hard to determine what level many people represent. Obviously as an enormous fan of these kinds of games have their particular favorites, but these are merely old games which might be already out there for several many years. I would like to try something brand new. Do you get any ideas?
