I was having fun this afternoon monitoring and retweeting the #cnow Connect Now conference being held up in Sydney, when I came across a tweet by @iggypintado about the iPad's Australian release being delayed.

Initially, the Australian/international release of the iPad was scheduled for April 24, 2010.

So what's the news on this?

According to a report on Smartcompany.com.au, there could be some supply issues.  However, the same article mentions that some Australian developers already have their hands on iPads.

Trust the developers to get one before the rest of us Aussies...

And then there's the Canadians crossing over the border with the U.S. to pick up an iPad a few weeks early...

itwire.com reports on an unspecified production problem that may or may not impact on the international release.

Then there's Channelnews.com.au reporting on wi-fi and heating problems.

Is it too late to do a dummy-spit?  I was so looking forward to getting my iPad on April 24th.
