Apple Tablet Pre Orders Ship Early
It seems like Apple
has decided to be a little lenient with the shipping of the Apple iPad in the UK. We are still reeling from the news several weeks ago that Steve Jobs fired an employee for actually showing an iPad tablet to Steve Wozniak just a few minutes away from the allowed time.
For whatever reason the folks at Apple decided to, many new iPad buyers are certainly thankful that they will no longer have to wait until June 7 before their purchased tablet gets shipped.
Originally, the Apple iPad was supposed to have been launched all over the world last April, but problems with meeting the demands for the US market for the touch screen tablet proved to be a daunting task for Apple that they had to push the worldwide launch back by a full month in order for the company to produce enough units to satisfy the market needs.
While already disappointing, the news was further made worse by the fact that there have been some reports that pre-orders of the iPad would not be accommodated until June 7.
Fortunately, for many pre-order customers, it appears that the iPad launch played out slightly differently. The tablet device has started to get shipped out yesterday and several customers have already received their tablets. According to one customer, the UPS deliveryman stated that there was actually plenty of iPads that were being shipped that very day.
The iPad is Apple’s very first touch screen tablet device and many have considered it to be a giant iPod Touch. In addition to being able to browse the internet and run iTunes apps, the iPad is also equipped with media playback capabilities and eBook support. The tablet comes with a 1GHz CPU and a 9.7 inch capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.
