—Apple’s iPad tablet is expected to hit store shelves sometime later this month, but now analysts are saying that recent checks with Taiwan indicate some slight production delays. Think Equity said iPad production was supposed to ramp up in February, but now volumes continue to be low in the first few days of March. Analysts at Canaccord Adams said the problems could limit initial availability to roughly 300,000 units this month (much lower than initial estimates of 1 million). [The WSJ]

—It’s still unknown what Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) plans to do after acquiring Quattro Wireless, a mobile advertising network, but a new job listing may shed some light on the matter. Apple is seeking a “Senior Interactive Web Developer” in Boston to develop a front-end Web user interface for the “development of compelling, interactive digital advertising experiences.” The developer will “be involved in client discussions, proof-of-concept coding, working with and adding to the existing framework, production deliverables and more.” The position will help the iPhone maker “redefine” ads on mobile devices.
