Thanks to a new investor note by Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek, it appears that Apple will have hardware shortages for the iPad tablet this month, claiming that manufacturer Foxconn has an "unspecified production problem."
For its first month of availability, Apple may only have 300,000 tablets available for ship, about a third of what Apple's internal hopes had been.
Misek even believes that Apple may push back launch until April, to ensure they have 1 million tablets ready to ship.
Initially, the iPad was delayed thanks to "glass strength issues," says Electronista, and production was slowed to make sure quality was up to par.
Apple has declined to comment.
