Apple’s iPad has officially been a runaway success in the U.S, with half a million units delivered during its first week of sales.

While this is great news for Apple, it has also resulted in a delayed release of the iPad for the rest of the world, including Australia.

The iPad lets users browse the web, read and send email, view and share photos, watch HD movies, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and more…however Apple say that if you’re looking to get your hands on one you’ll now have to wait until the end of May.

If sales in the U.S are anything to go by, it must be worth the wait. For more information about iPad please visit www.apple.com.au/ipad
