Foxconn readies iPad 2 for February delivery - 100 days

The DigiTimes on Tuesday said initial shipments of the iPad 2 would be 400,000 to 600,000 units. The report suggested that Apple is still testing the firmware for the iPad 2, which has slightly postponed the delivery schedule.

It’s important to note that delivery from a manufacturer like Foxconn, does not mean the product will be released. Apple could hold onto the order for a couple of months before officially announcing its existence.

This would give Apple the opportunity to build up inventory to make sure supply can meet what will no doubt be incredible demand.

For its fourth fiscal quarter, Apple reported selling 4.19 million iPads. It was only the second quarter the device was available.
