If you want an iPad, you no longer have to wait 2 weeks. Apple is now showing 24-hour shipping on all iPad models via its online store, just in time for the back to school season.
With competitors such as Toshiba, Samsung, RIM, Motorola/Google, HTC, Acer and others said to be preparing new tablets, all are going to be fighting for components, which are said to be under constraint.
As we reported earlier, the iPad will take a 74.1 percent share of global tablet shipments this year. Its stake will drop only slightly next year to a 70.4 percent share of shipments and even in 2012, its share will still amount to almost 2/3rds of tablet shipments or 61.7 percent, according to iSuppli.
In July, iSuppli said it expects Apple to ship just shy of 13 million iPads in 2010, tripling to 36.5 million in 2011 and growing to 50.4 million in 2012.
