There’s some good news for all iPad lovers who’re eagerly awaiting for the Apple’s Jesus tablet, the iPad 2! Apple has announced that the estimated shipping time of iPad 2 has improved from 3-4 weeks earlier to 2-3 weeks today.
This shipping should apply to all those countries where the iPad 2 can be currently shipped.
The news comes despite the fact that the disaster in Japan has largely affected the manufacturing of polymer batteries to a large extent. The iPad 2’s new, more durable screen glass is also probably supplied by a high-tech Japanese glassmaker. It’s difficult for Apple to find an alternative supplier for several of the the iPad’s Japanese components.
Apple has experienced unprecendented demand for the iPad 2 since it first went on sale in the U.S. in March. A glimpse of the popularity of iPad: Nearly 12,000 iPads were sold on eBay within the first two weeks of the iPad 2 ‘s launch.
Apple has already released its first iPad 2 commercial titled “we believe” and improvement in online orders indicates that the company has found a way to meet the demands of its customers.
