I know a bunch of people answered this already, but I also wanted to add that I read Steve Jobs at the D8 saying that Apple has less resources than others do. Makes sense, seeing as the international iPad launch was delayed a month because they sold 1 million units in the US, more than they expected in less than a month's time (back then). I'd wager it wasn't feasible to just churn out 5 million iPads in less than two months. Or it would have been, if they were willing to sacrifice quality for quantity. And that doesn't sound like an Apple thing to do.
