Due to higher than anticipated sales in the US, Apple has decided to delay the international launch of its iPad to late next month.
It will now launch the device around the world at the end of May, and will begin accepting pre-orders on 10 May.
In a statement the company blamed demand for the device in the US, which it said had been "surprisingly strong".
When the iPad launched in the US, 300,000 units were sold on its first day. Apple claims it delivered 500,000 in the first week of its release.
"Demand is far higher than we predicted and will likely continue to exceed our supply over the next several weeks," said Apple.
