For those answers and more, here are four things you may not know about the new tablet.

Pre-Orders

If you want to pre-order the new iPad, you'll have to wait a few extra days to receive it. That's because it looks like Apple has run through its first batch of new iPads set aside for online orders. When Apple announced its third generation tablet on March 7, shipment was set at March 16. Now, if you check Apple's site you'll see that date has been pushed back to March 19 in the U.S., reports .

It's not a huge delay, but it does indicate consumers are eagerly grabbing up the new iPad, enough so to disrupt shipping dates.

The delayed online shipment date doesn't apply to iPad availability at brick-and-mortar stores later this month. That's because Apple normally allots a different amount of product for its retail outlets compared with what it sets aside for online orders.
