iPads Now Shipping Within 24 Hours

iPads Now Shipping Within 24 Hours - Yahoo! News

"Apple has reduced the estimated shipping time for all six of its iPad models (Wi-Fi 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, and Wi-Fi + 3G 16GB, 32GB and 64GB) to 'within 24hrs' on its online store.

Up until this weekend, Apple promised that iPads would ship within three to five business days, and a few weeks before that the Apple Store cautioned would-be buyers that shipments would take up to seven to ten business days.

It appears that production has finally caught up to order levels for the device. Demand was so 'surprisingly strong' when the iPad first launched in the U.S. -- hitting the 1 million sales mark in 28 days, 2 million within two months and 3 million by the end of the third month -- that Apple '[had to make] the difficult decision to postpone the international launch of the iPad by one month, until the end of May,' the company said in an earlier statement.
