iPad Distribution Expands, MacBook Air Boost Mac Sales

While new MacBook Airs fly off the virtual shelves at the Apple Store, the iPad is now being sold in a large variety of places throughout the U.S. Both Verizon and AT&T have begun selling iPads. Verizon bundles a Wifi-only iPad with their MiFi device. AT&T is selling the 3G iPad with AT&T network service. Recently, Apple also began selling iPads through stores like Walmart, Target and Best Buy.
While last quarter saw record Mac sales, the current quarter might easily top that with the addition of the new smaller MacBook Air. One firm is forecasting 700,000 units with a majority being the smaller size.
