The upcoming Android gaming tablet Wikipad (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/21/getting-a-grip-on-the-wikipad/) was set to launch today (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/06/wikipad-at-gamestop-this-october-for-499-pre-orders-open-sep/), but the company's representatives have sent along a statement from the development team (which you can read in full after the break) saying that the launch has been delayed. According to the statement, the device's release was moved in order to take advantage of a "last minute opportunity" to "ensure our first customers are completely satisfied with the Wikipad." Unfortunately, no new launch date has been set yet.
The team says that it's working with GameStop on dealing with current pre-orders, and that anyone who's already pre-ordered the product will not only get the "refined and upgraded" bundle when it's eventually released, but "a special bonus gift" as well. Again, there's no indication when that might happen, so we'll just have to wait and see what Wikipad's plans are going forward.
