    As expected, the online ordering is now at 2-3 weeks for delivery. At 5 it was 3-5 days. They probably burned through the initial stock. You can still order, though.

    The problem this time is there are so many different models to choose from with the addition of the white color and the Verizon model. If you are dead set on getting a certain model you might be out of luck.

    Online ship time direct from Apple has already increased from initial 3-5 business days to 2-3 weeks.

    I wouldn't use specs to buy a tablet. Any tablet besides the ipad that says 10 battery life is lying. Ipad 2 beat the Xoom by 2 hours in battery, and that's was the best an Android tablet could do. Ipad 2 has HDMI out thru an adapter.

    BTW the 3 other slates listed are VAPORWARE.

    Really? The reason it might be lesser in battery life because it uses REAL MULTITASK unlike iOS.
