"&amp;lt;vc&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Apple on Tuesday was forced again to delay estimated shipping times for new iPad 2 orders, as those who buy must now wait four to five weeks for their order to be sent.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nYet another delay comes as stock of the iPad 2 around the U.S. is believed to be &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/14/amazing_demand_for_ipad_2_seen_as_insurmountable_lead_for_apple.html\"&amp;gt;entirely sold out&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; at all locations, including Apple's retail stores and partners. Some select Apple stores with new shipments of the iPad 2 are set to &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/14/some_apple_retail_stores_plan_to_open_early_tuesday_for_ipad_2_sales.html\"&amp;gt;open early today&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, while many other stores await more stock in the face of crushing demand.\r\n\r\nThe latest delay applies to all models of the iPad 2, including Wi-Fi and both 3G models from AT&amp;amp;T and Verizon. It also includes all capacities: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.\r\n\r\n\"Demand for the next generation iPad 2 has been amazing,\" Apple said in a statement to the press this week. \"We are working hard to get iPad 2 into the hands of every customer who wants one as quickly as possible.\"\r\n\r\nTuesday's need to push back estimated shipping times is the latest in a string of delays since the iPad 2 first went on sale in the U.S. last Friday. Initial orders were scheduled to ship in a matter of days, but the wait was &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/11/online_ipad_2_orders_from_apple_estimated_to_ship_in_5_7_business_days.html\"&amp;gt;quickly pushed back&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; to between two and three weeks.\r\n\r\nOn Saturday, Apple was forced to &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/12/strong_demand_pushes_new_ipad_2_shipments_from_apple_back_to_3_4_weeks.html\"&amp;gt;extend estimates&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; to three to four weeks. Now, customers who hesitated to buy could be waiting over a month to receive their iPad 2.\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;div align=\"center\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=\"http://photos.appleinsider.com/ipad2delay-110315.png\" border=\"0\" width=\"800\" height=\"386\" alt=\"iPad 2 delay\" /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nWall Street analysts generally expect that Apple sold at least a &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/11/analyst_apple_could_sell_600000_ipad_2s_during_debut_weekend.html\"&amp;gt;half million&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; of the iPad 2 in its first weekend of availability. More bullish estimates have forecast Apple to have sold as many as &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/11/dont_be_surprised_if_apple_sells_1m_of_ipad_2_this_weekend_analyst_says.html\"&amp;gt;1 million&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; at launch."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
