Customers pre-ordering the iPad need to wait longer

There are many customers who have pre-ordered the iPad with a view to avoiding the crowds when the iPad actually releases. The release day of the iPad is expected to pull more crowds. The latest edition of the tablet that was unveiled some days ago, will hit the market this coming Friday.

However, the tablets that have already been ordered online will have to wait for at least three days more. The tablets cannot be shipped until Monday – March 19. This has officially been reported on the web site of Apple. This is entirely opposite of what the company had promised to ship the tablet on the same day when it is launched.

There were reasons to make these sudden changes, however. According to the company statement, the stock set aside especially for the pre-order got exhausted quickly and forced the company helpless to ship the tablet on March 16 – the launch day.

Apple has been having a hard time contending the demands of the customers. This is the second instance in the year when Apple has failed to make the products available as promised. It was earlier in January this year, when Apple could not being selling the iPhone 4S on time in Beijing, China.

Apple will launch the iPad3 on March 7

Come March 7, Apple Inc will be holding a product event in San Francisco. The event is organized for releasing the third generation of the iPad tablet computer. The iPad tablet computer happens to be the best-selling gadget from the house of Apple. There is a lot of excitement in the world of technology regarding the iPad launch.

The gadget will carry a screen with high-definition display. Users will experience a super soft touch screen with the new iPad3. A relatively faster processor will carry out the tasks for you like never before. Wireless networks will ensure that you can remain in touch with the outside world without any fuss.

No doubt, there is a stiff competition in the market. But after gaining the tag of being the pioneer in the field of the tablet market about a couple of years ago, there are a lot of hopes pinned on the new gadget. Though the company has been successful in selling slightly more than 55 million units and generating $34.5 billion as revenue, competition is still healthy.

Apple Inc’s closest rival is the Amazon.com Inc’s Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire also uses the Android operating system.

However, in spite of the tough competition, Apple is likelyto top the sales charts in the tablet market.
