If you thought you’d just hold off until after the weekend rush had died down to head to your local Apple Store, Best Buy, Target, etc., you’re going to have to keep waiting. While Apple’s online store said the ship time was only a few days long on Friday’s launch day, waits are now between four weeks and five weeks for the new iPad.
The iPad 2’s sales went above and beyond industry expectations this past weekend, which left many store shelves empty before the weekend even ended. Online sales were backed up to two to three weeks before the iPad 2 was even available in retail stores. When the original iPad came out 11 months ago, Apple said it sold more than 300,000 on the first day, and 1 million after 28 days. Analysts say the iPad 2 sold 500,00 units in just its first day.
