It looks like the supply of the Apple iPad 2 has finally caught up with the demand. If you do order an iPad online it is now ready to ship in 1-3 days, Last week it stood at 3-5 days and 2 months ago at 3 weeks. At this rate Apple should be ready with iPad shipments within 24 hours soon.
With a possible iPad 3 in the making, it makes sense that Apple wants to sell the iPad 2 quickly, but I would advise our readers to hold off purchase until October and see if a new iPad will be released alongside a new iPhone before purchasing an iPad 2.
