Brazil's Minister of Science and Technology has revealed that Foxconn is scheduled to start iPad production in the country in September, while Apple has posted a new ad showcasing the iPad 2.



From Apple Insider:

According to the minister, construction glitches and a shortage of skilled labor contributed to the delays. Foxconn, which serves as one of Apple's main manufacturing partners, has hired 175 engineers and sent them to China for training, but more than 200 engineers are needed for the plant.

The project is also dependent upon full legal approval from the city of Jundiaí where the production plant is being built. The city has said it is committed to the project and approval process has been accelerated in order to meet the deadlines.
