The gadget examiners have taken a look at the iPad 2 and noted that at least five components are sourced from Japan including the DRAM, the compass, touchscreen overlay glass and system battery.

That suggests that in the aftermath of the tragic events in Japan, we may see iPad 2 supply issues. If that does come to pass, it may be sometime before the iPad 2 supply chain is constrained. If you struggle to get an iPad 2, maybe donate a bit of the cash you were going to spend to the Red Cross in the meantime.
