Apple started taking preorders for its third generation iPad just a week ago, but according to Apple’s Online store, the device has already sold out.  Ship times for all versions of the device are listed as 2 to 3 weeks, above, a much larger delay than last week, when the device was expected to ship on March 19th.  The story isn’t much different abroad.  The iPad is sold out in other launch countries, including Japan, the UK, France, Germany and Canada.

There is good news, however.  It appears that Apple stores will open at 8am on Friday, March 16th, so you can pick up the 3rd gen iPad in person without waiting 2 to 3 weeks for an online order.
