Apple today announced that the worldwide launch of the iPad would be delayed by a month, the company is pointing the finger at the large numbers of units that have been shifted during the US launch. They state this stands at over half a million a iPads in the first week, a decent number by any measure. So on the upside all the doom and gloom mongers saying the product would be a flop should now be in hiding its just we have to wait a month to get our greasy fingers on the iPad.

Pre- Orders can be placed on May 10th so set your alarms to get on the top of the order list.
