Foxconn is due to start shipping finished iPads in late February for a launch less than two months later, part suppliers said Monday night. The company reportedly has an initial order of 400,000 to 600,000 of Apple's tablets at its main Shenzhen factory to deliver them for a release in early April, one year after the original debut. Production would have started in January, but Apple is still said by Digitimes to be testing new firmware and to have postponed production to ensure it was ready.
