Just read that over 60% of the flash RAM for the iPad is made in Japan, so any additional delays may be also due to the what I cannot really call disaster or catastrophe in Japan, its going beyond that and is really apocalyptic. I don't know if Apple has stored enough of those parts and as far as I know Apple its driven by as little inventory as possible if I remember correctly. So, if that is true than the current shipment delays may be there for quite some time or even increase. Sucks for us but even more for the poor people in Japan...
