Companies may be thinking of Apple’s new iPad as a business tool, because Apple’s tool box has run dry for about two unexpected days this month. Orders placed for the revolutionary tablet are now promised to ship by April 12; orders placed by March 27 are set to arrive on the original April 3 date.
That a unseen device which starts at $499 blew out its initial run in two weeks of sales is a sure sign that small business owners are investing in the new mobile form factor. Apple may have engineered the size of its first run to ensure a sellout before first delivery. Whatever the reason, e-mail notices arrived this morning that first shipments have left Apple’s plants to arrive by April 3.
