Resellers Receive iPad Shipments Ahead of Launch

The iPad mini stock level is reportedly about double what the reseller received for the third-generation iPad launch, which also included cellular-capable models. Cellular-capable models of the iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad will follow several weeks after this Friday's launch of Wi-Fi models.

Launch day pre-orders have sold out for the device and the Apple Store is now showing a two week ship time.
