Czech republic ipad 2 DELAY

[igoodso]

does this mean the uk release will go the same way ??

What makes you say it is delayed?

 

[mooseknuckles]

According to the Apple site. screen shot and story... http://www.9to5mac.com/56912/apple-starts-pushing-back-ipad-launches/

 

[Pressure]

Release still listed as the 25th of March in Denmark, so unless they change it on monday, everything looks on target.

 

[dacreativeguy]

Watch out. You may find that everyone in line is American and they'll ship all the iPads back to the US to sell for double the price.

 

[master-ceo]

According to app advice the UK date is now April 25

 

[Mac.World]

If the high demand in the US wasn't enough to push the dates back for Europe, then I'm pretty sure the tsunami sealed the deal. Apple has enough parts in the pipeline to build iPads for two more weeks. After that, you can expect major delays.

Pretty sure all European release dates will be delayed.

I can't remember where I read it but I read something similar too. It might have been on the BBC news?

UK, Irish and Australian Apple sites have the 25th of March as the release day.

I see nothing that says two weeks. It's all speculation.

I talk to a norwegain store yesterday. They said they were getting a few units on 25 march

Got it from AppleInsider: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/18/apple_has_have_enough_ipad_2_components_to_maintain_production_for_2_3_weeks.html

That just speculations.

A report. Ridiculous

lolz. AppleInsider is hit or miss but this article sources a "published report" that they don't even link to. Give me a ****ing break. People really need to scrutinize what they read online.

I just saw the same. With no news yet about Friday though, I am starting to suspect an international launch delay. Didn't this happen last year, and it kept slipping further?

I'm not sure about last year. Denmark wasn't a part of the international launch so i don't know much about it. But i don't think they will correct the .cz site so close to the launch only to push it back again. Can they even do it now? Being in a few days i think the iPads are on their way already.

Well hopefully it won't be pushed back for the UK at least - my local Apple Reseller (which is always quieter than the Apple Store) has confirmed they will have units by midday on Friday, and will go on sale at 5pm.
