Apple says that although it has “delivered more than 500,000 iPads during its first week” the demand for the iPad in sales and pre-orders is “far higher than we predicted”. The upshot of all these US sales? The international launch – that’s including us here in Europe folks – will be postponed by one month, until the end of May.
However, make a date in your diary as Apple says it will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on Monday, May 10.
Full release can be found on CrunchGear.
I guess we’ll just have to go and get a WePad instead huh.

“No, we said we’re launching internationally later in April, and we’re launching later in April.”
For the record: that was merely six days ago.
