About That March iPad Release Date…

in News on March 5, 2010 at 10:11 am PT

When Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPad on Jan. 27, he said it would be “available” in 60 days, implying an on-sale date of March 25. By announcing a pre-sale date of March 12, as it did this morning, the company has technically fulfilled that promise–yet it is not delivering the device to customers until April 3, about a week later. If the ship date was to be April 3, why didn’t Jobs say that at the January event?
