According to DigiTimes, it may take at least a month for Apple's suppliers to catch up with the demand.
Apple may not unable to ramp up the supply of its next-generation iPads (iPad 3), which are expected to be launched at a company event on March 7, due to insufficient supply of high resolution displays, according to industry sources in the supply chain. [..]
