While things were certainly looking up for Apple last week, the iPad launch has taken a complete turnaround as more internal problems has been revealed and the inability of Apple to keep up with the demand has forced a delay in the international launch of the touch screen tablet.

iPad users in the Princeton University will have to hold back on using their iPads to connect to the in-campus WiFi network as the device has been confirmed to be unable to comply with expiring IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server. While this is not a big issue for home networks, it is a serious matter for large networks such as the one used in the University. The problem has already been reported to Google and they are still awaiting a solution before the campus-wide ban on the device is lifted.

This issue is more of a software problem than the hardware itself – a major sigh of relief for many existing iPad users. There are however, other problems that occur in the device such as the inability to connect dual band WiFi routers and more.

In bigger Apple iPad news, it has been confirmed that the tablet will not make it to the upcoming originally planned late April launch. The device launched first in the US last week, April 3 and has had a successful sales performance.

Despite the successful sales, it seems that Apple has underestimated the growth of its tablet market and as such, they are trying to keep up with the demands. While it seems like a bad argument, the fact of the matter is that the launch has been set back by a full month from late April to late May.
