Due to the high demand in the US, Apple is delaying the international launch of the iPad, by a month(in May 2010).
So far, Apple claims that it has already delivered 500,000 iPads, with a large number of pre-order pending, to be delivered by the end of this month.
The company plans to announce pricing and open pre-orders for global markets only on May 10, 2010. Read the announcement by Apple over here.

iSuppli revealed the cost of producing the 16GB iPad was just $259.60, with over 40% of that figure going on the display alone. It is believed that Apple makes $208 on each $499 iPad.
