Apple may ship the Wi-Fi-only version of the iPad on March 26, a little more than three weeks from now, according to the latest gossips. The new assert comes on the heels of a rumour from former this week that Apple had to delay the iPad launch because of “an unspecified production problem” in Apple’s supply chain.
Apple has yet to proclaim the precise dates for iPad availability, but through the iPad’s unveiling in late January, Apple said the non-3G iPad would hit store shelves in 60 days, followed by the 3G model 30 days after that.

Both the Examiner and Macromere claim anonymous sources have told them the iPad will launch on March 26, possibly at 6 p.m. The rumoured iPad launch timing would be similar to what Apple did in 2007, when it launched in the United States. The Examiner is also saying that customers who line up for the iPad on launch day will receive a “special gift.”
In preparation for the launch, Apple Store employees will reportedly get their hands on the device as early as March 10. iPad television commercials will reportedly start airing on March 15.
