WikiPad Launch Indefinitely Delayed to Make Last Minute Refinements

[dgstorm]

Gamestop's WikiPad Android gaming tablet has been delayed indefinitely. Apparently, they felt that the experience of using the device was not quite solid enough. They delayed it to add some last minute refinements. Here's a quote with their official statement,

The Wikipad team has been relentlessly working with our manufacturers and partners to perfect the Wikipad bundle to ensure our first product is the best tablet and entertainment experience at launch. There is a last minute opportunity to enhance the Wikipad bundle as well as a minor refinement needed to ensure our first customers are completely satisfied with the Wikipad.

We have informed our retail partners about this delay. For those who pre-ordered the Wikipad at GameStop through today October 31st, we will deliver the refined and upgraded bundles as well as a special bonus gift with the pre-order.

We are very eager to deliver the Wikipad experience and are passionate about excellence. We apologize for this delay and want you to know that we are committed to bringing you the very best, high-end gaming tablet possible.

We are in the final stage and will be announcing the new date soon.

It's a bummer that this intriguing device will take longer to come out, but it's appreciated that a company recognizes when their "cake needs to bake a little longer." Perhaps they are figuring out how to bring Jelly Bean to the tablet instead of ICS...
