Foxconn fire affects delivery times for iPad 2 tablets

Are you planning to buy an iPad 2 tablet from abroad? If so, then I have very bad news for you, Apple has changed the delivery terms for iPad 2 tablets so that now a tablet will be delivered in 1-2 weeks instead of 3-5 days. The change comes less than a day after the devastating fire from one of the sections of the Foxconn factory where iPad 2 tablets were assembled, so there is a clear connection between the 2 events. Apple has not made any kind of announcement related to the change in delivery dates, but it is understood that they have problems with the manufacture of tablets because of that incidents.

It is hard to say how long it will take until those from Foxconn will be able to re-enter a normal production cycle considering that the entire section burned down and the equipment was not recovered.
