iPad 2 Launching Within One Day, iPad 3 Soon?

Nearly five months after the launch of the iPad 2, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has finally caught up to demand. The report first came from 9 to 5 Mac.

That may not matter though, as rumors continue to abound that the iPad 3 is just around the corner, in the next few months.

Apple is now able to receive an order and ship it out in 24 hours for the first time since the iPad 2 was made available on March 11.

In store supply is still constrained at heavy traffic stores, such as New York's 5th Ave. store, but most stores have ample supplies, as do third-party stores such as Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) and Target (NYSE: TGT).

At last check, shares of Apple were off $4.88 to $391.87, a loss of 1.23%‎.
