Because of heavy demand in the U.S. market, Apple is delaying the international roll-out of its iPad tablet computer for a month, Franklin Paul and Gabriel Madway report. It plans to announce
international pricing and begin taking online orders on May 10; iPads will hit store shelves at the end of May. International sales accounted for 58% of Apple's revenue in last quarter, up from 46% a
year earlier.
Analysts say the device has proven to be more popular than some expected and that Apple is having difficulty ramping up iPad production. But others are more skeptical.
"It is a little surprising: 500,000 -- weren't they expecting that?" says Hudson Square Research analyst Daniel Ernst. "On the flip side, it's a high-quality problem. There isn't
another product on the market like it."
