US online iPad orders now shipping in 3-4 weeks, in-store supplies low

After shipping almost immediately, then in a matter of days, then a week, Apple has again update their [iPad 2](http://www.imore.com/ipad-2] ordering page -- this time to 3-4 weeks. Many of you have told us that iPad 2 was selling out at Apple stores and other retailers yesterday as well. Sounds like supplies really might have been constrained again this year.

With international rollout set to begin on March 25 -- unless Apple delays it like last year -- does that mean American's who want their iPad 2s sooner rather than later might drive to Canada or fly out to the UK or Australia? Oh, the irony...

Are you still trying to get an iPad 2? Let us know where you are and if they have stock!
