Sorry to the all who are affected by the delay but if it helps get my pre ordered 3g model here quicker....Well tough luck! =)
Mind you end of April to 10th of May is not really a month. A week or 2 at best delayed. Cause I always thought end of april was the pre-order date and not release date. So it's not as bad as people think. But it was very nice of Apple to make a statement about this to let us know.We will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on Monday, May 10.
Well your 3G ipads in the US I've heard are delayed too. For the same reasons as the international ones are delayed. So best learn to like waiting.
And laughing at the mosfirtune of others is a very un mac-forum user like thing to do. And it shows the kind of person you are.
WOW, had I known the Thought Police would be after me for my playful comment that ended with a smile face, I would have been more careful. The ability to derive "the kind of person I am" with nothing more than your incorrect interpretation of a single post is truly remarkable....So in review, A) traylorc was correct, and B) be careful what you say around the8thark, his ability to misconstrue your words and come to a conclusion about your entire personality and place a value on it, is spooky!Well your 3G ipads in the US I've heard are delayed too.

At least we have a date we can pre-order now.

At least there is one good thing for us non US people. We cam make sure the Wi-Fi and overheating issues are all sorted out before we get our ipads.
Based on activity in another forum I'm on, I can say with some confidence that at least a part of that "surprising US demand" is *already* coming from Canadians buying theirs just over the border.
We were going to get to buy it in late April. Now we get to start preordering it on the 10th of May. If there's a 2 week preordering period (an optimistic estimate IMO) we'll be able to buy it 24th of May. Exactly 1 month after rumour was saying we'd get to buy it.Mind you end of April to 10th of May is not really a month. A week or 2 at best delayed.
A friend of mine who's in a position to know says Apple blew by the 500,000 mark already, so yes they are selling very well.
Which reminds me, whatever became of all those iHaters who predicted it would be a flop?
