Apple may adjournment or absolute the admeasurement of the barrage of its advancing iPad book computer because of an "unspecified assembly problem," Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek wrote in a analysis agenda Monday.
Misek said Apple's Taiwan-based supplier Hon Hai Precision could be adverse a assembly aqueduct or a curtailment of components.
"An bearding assembly botheration at the iPad's manufacturer, Hon Hai Precision, will acceptable absolute the barrage arena to the U.S. and the amount of units accessible to almost (300,000) in the ages of March, far lower than the company's antecedent appraisal of (1 million) units. The adjournment in assembly access will acceptable appulse Apple's April assemblage appraisal of (800,000) as well," Misek wrote.
Apple has not about declared an official absolution date or how abounding models it is assured to put on sale. It has said that Wi-Fi models will address in "late March," while 3G models will address in April in the U.S. and called countries.
Canaccord still expects Apple to advertise 550,000 iPads in the third division catastrophe in June, and 1.2 actor iPads in the 2010 budgetary year.
"The alone actual appulse from the iPad adjournment could appear in the anatomy of balked consumers and some bashful accident of afterglow for the company's artefact launch," Misek said.
