The iPad has been one of the hottest gadgets today in the United States since the first day it was released in the country. Due to the high demand of iPad in the United States, Apple said on Wednesday that the global distribution of this gadget would be delayed by a month.

“Faced with this surprisingly strong U.S. demand, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the international launch of iPad by one month, until the end of May,” Apple said in a statement.

The company stated that they have already sold more than 500,000 iPads in just the first week of its release. Wow! That’s an amazing achievement for Apple, “far higher than we predicted and will likely continue to exceed our supply over the next several weeks.” Apple said.

Apple said that it would announce international pricing and begin taking online orders for the iPad on Monday.

Oil prices have reached at about $70 to $80 per barrel, and OPEC have no signs of wanting to cool the price hike, and suggests its prices to go upwards.

An increase of 70% could really dismay the consumer countries and feed into higher energy costs at a time of economic crisis.

Saudi Arabia, many other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and some consuming nations have said they see oil at $70 to $80 as high enough for producers without hurting economic recovery.

But with oil trading above $84 on Wednesday, within sight of an 18-month high of $87.09 reached on April 6, Libya’s top oil official and two OPEC delegates said there was no prospect of a formal output increase.

The agency has said oil above $70-$80 could be risky for global economic recovery.

It was a great battle for the company these past two and a half years, but today, the head of JPMorgan Chase raised his outlook for the rest of 2010 as first quarter income rose 57 percent.
Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s chairman and chief executive, said that there were strong signs the economy was stabilizing as fewer borrowers fall behind on their loans.

Over all, JPMorgan said its first-quarter income was $3.3 billion, or 74 cents a share. That compared with income of $2.1 billion, or 40 cents a share, a year earlier as profit surged in the months after following the crisis. Revenue, at $28.2 billion, exceeded forecasts. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had forecast income of 64 cents a share on revenue of $26.46 billion. As one of the first banks to report this quarter, JPMorgan’s results could set a benchmark for the rest of the financial industry. Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup all report in the coming week.

Even as the country emerges from a deep recession, the job market has not yet rebounded. Demand for new loans is still weak. Meanwhile, there are only tentative signs that home prices are nearing a bottom.

And JPMorgan’s problems are not yet over. The bank set aside several billion dollars to cover future losses reserves. It has now stockpiled a total of $39 billion, or roughly 5.6 percent of loans. The bank also set aside another $2.3 billion in additional litigation reserves amid fierce legal fights over faulty mortgages and a pitched battle with Washington Mutual bondholders over that company’s remnants.

JPMorgan has emerged from the crisis in better shape than most of its peers, which suffered bruising losses or a devastating blow to their reputation, or in many cases, both.

Toyota temporarily suspended the sales of Lexus GX460. There news saying that it is not 100% safe. It was reported that the consumers got warned because of the way the car slides during certain maneuvers, noting that those slides could be a prelude to rolling over.
