Apple launch-day new iPads out of stock

Bad news for those of you that haven’t pre-ordered your new iPad yet – according to reports online, the initial stock of the tablet has been completely sold out. While that doesn’t mean you can’t order anymore new iPads, you’ll just have to wait longer for the tablets to ship out. According to the Apple Store, new orders will now ship by March 19^th as opposed to March 16^th – next Friday’s launch date. Of course there are always alternative retailers to purchase your iPad from (Best Buy etc) so you’re not completely out of luck yet.

The new iPad was revealed earlier this week and will feature a 9.7″ Retina Display, A5X processor, a 5-megapixel rear camera, VGA front facing camera, 4G LTE (on Verizon and AT&T), and 10 hours of battery life (9 on LTE). Prices start at $499 for 16GB WiFi only. If you’re not sold on the new iPad and want a second opinion before you make your purchase, lookout for our upcoming review – as soon as we get our hands on one. Anybody already pre-ordered the new iPad?
