Apple May Have Sold 500,000 IPad 2 Tablets, Analyst Estimates - Businessweek

An impressive start for iPad 2

Apple Inc. may have sold as many as 500,000 iPad 2 computers after retail outlets ran out of the tablet-style device on its debut weekend, said Piper Jaffray Cos. analyst Gene Munster.

Stores run by Apple, Target Corp. and Best Buy Co. contacted by Munster’s team had sold out of the device, he said in a research note yesterday. Online orders via Apple’s website are taking up to a month for delivery, up from less than a week when sales began.

That's exactly what made me buy in the store. I was going to order it over the internet, but the delivery estimate is unbelievable. When I decided to buy it, i had to have it right away!
