iPad 2 Launches To Long Lines, Sellouts

While lines at U.S. Apple Stores last Friday started out small in the morning, they grew by leaps and bounds as the 5 p.m. launch drew nearer. At the end of the day many stores did not have enough inventory to meet demand. Online sales were similar, with longer and longer shipping times as the day wore on.
Some analysts say that Apple may have sold as many as 1 million iPad 2s over the weekend. It was hard if not impossible to find one for sale anywhere by Saturday afternoon.
Reviews of the iPad 2 are mixed with some praising the speed improvements and new design, and others saying that it isn’t enough of an improvement over the original and the built-in cameras are underpowered.
