Apple has eventually kept up with the demand for iPad 2 after 4 scanty months since the release of the device. The US Store currently offers shipping times of 1-3 days for the tablet, as well as for other Apple products that aren’t limited. However, Apple limits purchases to 1-2 items per order and many foreign stores still list shipping times of 3-5 business days or even longer.

As Fortunes writes ^[2], the shipping times were 1-2 weeks from mid-April. And just last week the company reduced ship times to 3-5 days.

Also earlier this week, Apple made educational affiliates know that iPads were eligible for Affiliate Development fund, and this is a clear sign that Apple had caught up with the demand.
