Production problems may holdup the availability of Apple’s in the UK, according to a new report.

A research note by Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek launched on Monday asserts Apple is suffering a "manufacturing bottleneck" when it comes to iPad production.

The note claims Apple may only have 300,000 iPads ready at release, before the one million hoped for. Those iPads which will be available may only be on sale in the US, with customers outside Apple's home market having to wait.

"An indeterminate production problem at the iPad's manufacturer, Hon Hai Precision, will likely boundary the release region to the US," Misek claims in the note.

Officially, the Wi-fi enabled version of the iPad is meant to go on sale at the end of this month, with the more expensive 3G and Wi-fi version to follow in April. Apple has yet to announce UK pricing or who might be allies for 3G data plans noting: "3G data plan may be sold independently."

Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek also expects Apple will sell around 1.2 million iPads in economic year 2010 and 3.5 million in 2011. Also, the analysts increase his forecast for iPhone sales in the current quarter to 7.9 million units, up from his earlier prediction of 7.2 million.
