Shipping Date for New iPad Orders Slips to April 12th, Apple Ends Reservation Program
With the iPad launch just a week away, Apple appears to be running out of its initial supply of the devices as the company has pushed the expected shipping date for new Wi-Fi iPad orders to April 12th from the previous April 3rd date. Orders for Wi-Fi + 3G models continue to show a projected shipping date of late April.
Apple has also removed the iPad reservation program from its site. The program allowed consumers to reserve a Wi-Fi iPad for pickup at their local Apple retail store on the launch day of April 3rd. Customers with reserved iPads have been told to come to their retail location between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM on launch day to pick up and purchase their device. Once that window has passed, unclaimed iPads will be returned to general stock.

Maybe this hints for a new MacBook Pro release (at the same time as the iPad, as be visible down in a small window at the site and the iPad in a huge box! ...)
So they want it to be the at the same time released, or something...

Millions of these devices will be sold in 2010. The tablet era is underway.

I believe this shipping date slip is for new orders only. If you've already ordered your iPad it will still be available a week from today as scheduled.

The release date is still April 3rd. the article says that of you didn't pre-order or reserve your iPad by now, it will now be on a first-come-first-served basis at the Apple Store or if you order online, it won't ship till april 12th.
