> “Our checks suggest new issues are being encountered with the new production and it is taking time to resolve them,” said Chen. “As a number of Android 3.0 tablets are being launched in April and May, the delay in iPad 2 shipments may give the Android camp a brief window of opportunity.”

A June launch would also likely coincide with the release of the next-generation iPhone, which has typically occurred [every June](http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/06/07/apple_unveils_redesigned_thinner_iphone_4_with_two_cameras.html).

NEVER EVER, EVER trust a rumor source who just happens to point out how the consequences of said rumor may help out the competition. That quote about this giving Android a “brief window of opportunity” reeks of Android Fanboy wishful thinking. Or someone who really, really HOPES that the iPad 2 is delayed, rather than KNOWING that it’s delayed.
Does anyone know who Yuanta Securities is? Anyone want to bet that they’re connected to some company that will be shipping an Android tablet in the next month or two?
