iPad

There is a rumor that Apple will start talking preoders for the iPad deliveries on 2/25 (this should not be confused with an official release date which can be defined as a date the first iPad units will be shipped or physically sold).

You’ll remember that this is almost 5 weeks sooner than the initial WIFI model March shipping date I blogged about back in January

The preordering process would be limited to customers in the USA (the article also has a blurb on a supply chain pressures that Apple might be facing with such a short release window).

Take this info with a grain of salt as this is just one in a long chain of speculations revolving around the potential iPad release date.

On Release Date:

This one is going to be short (we may have to revisit this if the release date slips):

1. iPad Wi-Fi models Release Date: Shipping in late March.
2. iPad 3G models Release Date: Shipping in April.

Anyhow, that’s what is currently posted at the homepage (http://www.apple.com/ipad/) – stay tuned – I’ll be tracking this and posting as we learn specifics about iPad availability on Amazon and Best Buy (please comment and post info on specific retailers if you have it available.
