Fortune has reported today that Apple iPad orders are finally shipping within 24 hours, the first time the tablet has shipped within a day since its launch in April.
It took 170 days for supply to catch up to demand on the popular tablet.
Apple has been struggling to get production moving since the iPad sold out during launch weekend.
The iPad 3G launch was pushed back a few weeks and the international rollout of the tablet was pushed back a full month.
Orders from Apple.com, at their worst, had shipping delays of 15 business days. By May, that number had dropped to 7-10 and by July it had hit 3 days.
The iPhone 4 still has a three-week delay.

The long awaited Netflix Watch Instantly client for the iPhone and iPod Touch has finally arrived.
Netflix announced the availability of their free iPhone app in the iTunes App Store today. It requires iOS 3.13 or later.
The Watch Instantly service already allowed Netflix subscribers to stream video directly to devices including computers, Blu-ray players, HDTVs & game consoles. An iPad app has also been available since April of this year when the device launched.
A client for Android devices is also in development.
“We’re excited that our members can now carry Netflix around in their pockets and instantly watch movies and TV shows streamed from Netflix right to their iPhone or iPod touch” said Netflix founder and CEO Reed Hastings.

According to new research from the popular dating site OKCupid.com, iPhone owners are having sex with more partners than BlackBerry or Android owners.
Almost 10,000 smartphone owners were polled and the site found that men with iPhones had an average of 10 sexual partners by the age of 30, higher than the 8.1 partners for BlackBerry owners and 6 for Android users.
For women, iPhone owners had 12.3 partners by the same age, with BlackBerry users at 8.8 and Android owners at 6.1.
While the numbers could of course be skewed, (it is just a dating site and not a scientific journal) the numbers are still interesting.
The results of the survey were released along with OKCupid’s investigation into what type of photographs gor the most positive hits on the site. Unsurprisingly, pics taken with DSLRs, using soft lighting, got the most positive results.
