So many people rushed to order the must-have gadget online that Apple now says it cannot guarantee delivery until next month for those placing new orders.

Apple has signed a deal with DSGi to stock the tablet computer at 139 PC World and Currys stores for 60 days exclusively, giving consumers a better chance of snagging an iPad.

A memo to DSGi sales staff shows that the iPad will be available from 9am in 70 PC World stores, 28 Currys shops and 22 Dixons Travel outlets, as well as 19 combined PC World/Currys stores.

"Demand is expected to be high, mirroring what happened in the US," the memo said. A detailed list of which of DSGi's 650 stores will stock the computer will be posted on its websites this week.

Apple sold a million iPads within 28 days of its US launch last month. It is still selling 200,000 a week.
