Apple Forced To Delay International Launch of iPad As Demand Outstrips Supply
Mallorie Kaufman

Basically, because of the large sales of the Ipad in the United States, Apple has to delay the international launch of the iPad. There were more sales and orders of the iPad expected and there is not enough supply. Shares of Apple rose about 1 percent in premarket trading after the company said it sold more than 500,000 units of the device in week after the April 3 launch. Apple shares have risen 15 percent this year and now the shares are worth $245.24. With the increasing price of the stock and the increasing amount of sales, I think our group will purchase Apple stocks. In May when the ordering of the iPad will be allowed internationally, the stock should rise even more.

Apple is trying to popularize a new kind of computing device, one that combines elements of a laptop and a smartphone called the ipad. On the first day of its release 300,000 were sold, which was how much Michael Abramsky, an analyst with RBC Capital predicted it would sell. He says that many people are trying to figure out the relevance of an ipad to them. They also don't understand what it does yet but Michael believes it was a good launch. At the end of the day shares rose up to 1 percent to close at $238.49. Many buyers are waiting for future versions of the iPad, perhaps with a camera or other new features. They may be waiting for an ipad with 3G network as well since the current one works via wifi only.

Upon reading this article, we decided Apple would be a good stock to buy because they are constantly raising revenue, producing greater selling products, and jumping up in the Fortune 500's list of Companies with the highest gross revenue in 2010. Since 2009, Apple has jumped 15 spots to grasp number 56 on the list. Although some of the Fortune 500's lists are editorial decisions, this list is purely based on raw numbers from the company. Apple took in $36.537 billion in revenue in 2009, a 12.5 percent increase from its totals in 2008. The Mac maker ranked as the third-largest company in the computers and office equipment category, behind only HP and Dell. Apple is always rising in stock value and making money for the stock holders and there is insight about a new Apple product in the making that will supposedly make a lot more money than the iPad did. Apple is launching a pair of glasses that will provide high-def 3D video for the small screen. The glasses will allow users to slot their iPod or iPhone into it and the headset will use special lens tech to split the picture between the eyes, which will result in 3D viewing.
