3-4 weeks??? And you think that's good for the stock??? LMFAO... too funny... that puts deliveries well after the Q2 has ended. It probably means that Apple is having problems securing components (not surprised with for example the Toshiba NAND chip coming from Japan)... expect them to miss estimates for iPads this quarter... especially since they hardly sold any iPads in Jan and Feb as most everyone was waiting for iPad2 and Honeycomb to be released...

iPad 2 problems being reported already(PHOTOS) Jamie Forestell 12 Mar 2011 tektok.ca If you drove to the USA and waited in a long lineup to get your iPad 2, you would expect that there would be no problems. Apple, who is known to have such good quality control seems to be slipping. Well it seems there are 1600 people (at the time of this article) reporting screen bleeding and quite a few other problems, all of which appear to be related to the screen. Engadget started a poll yesterday and a majority of these people have indicated backlight bleeding problems with their iPad 2 devices. I don't know about you, but I don't think the drive to the USA to get the latest and greatest is worth it. Unless of course you can test the device with the Apple reps at the counter before leaving the store. There is a great chance even if you did try and head back to get your replacement, they would not have any stock yet. A member of Mac-Forums by the name of Wicked x Josh reported his iPad 2 is completely dead. You can see images he posted below: Image Credit: Mac-Forums You can see what appears to be a launched application but with many vertical lines in the way, rendering the device useless. Image Credit: Mac-Forums If the Engadget poll is true, this could be one of the worst product launches since the iPhone 4 death grip. Apple has yet to respond but if you still have your original iPad, I would hang on to it a while longer. If anything the value of the iPad 1 has just increased until we hear how Apple plans to handle all of the faulty devices. If you are having issues, please send us your images/stories/videos to ipad2@tektok.ca.

It could also be because they are having major backlight display issues. Engadget had a poll and a large number of iPad2 recent owners were having backlight problems. Possible recall??? "If the Engadget poll is true, this could be one of the worst product launches since the iPhone 4 death grip."

This could explain the 3-4 week delay...Apple iPad 2 Defects Already Shown Up: iPhone 4 Repeat? March 12, 2011 \| Maddy Rowe onlinesocialmedia.net With the iPad 2 still box fresh and in the hands of some of the fortunate, it is already suffering with technical defects reported by users within the first few hours of its life. Engadget touched on the two most common issues that have arisen with Apple’s second gen tablet. First up is an issue that touched a number of iPhone 4’s when it first came out, namely yellow spots appearing beneath the LCD glass. Said to be un-evaporated bonding solution for securing the glass, these spots will eventually disappear. More importantly is the defect brought to light with a light bleeding around the outer edges of the iPad 2’s display screen? In a video clip by I Am Phones, the newly purchased slate shows the bleeding sensation at different points around the screen’s edge. It is most prominent nearer the home button. It seems to be most noticeable when a dark scene comes up in a movie or anytime when the LCD screen is displaying dark images. To take the edge out of the light bleed it is possible to play with the brightness settings this is a temporary fix and not a cure. Tell us if you have an iPad 2 and have experienced either of these issues? Hopefully Apple will be quick to rectify any faults before it gets too serious.
