Apple announced today that they are delaying the release of the iPad until April. When initially unveiled on January 27th, the release date was loosely set for “late March”. Don’t panic, however, if you’ve preordered one or were planning on heading to your local Apple store to pick one up the second they’re available, you don’t have to wait long. The officially set release date when you’ll start seeing the iPad on store shelves is April 3rd, which isn’t too far of a stretch from their original “late March” guesstimates. Apple has not specified what caused the delay in release, so any information you see elsewhere is still speculation at this point.
