The iPad 2: Pretty Much Sold Out Worldwide, But New Units Are Coming
March 28, 2011
Worldwide customers expecting to walk into a retail outlet and pick up an iPad 2 are out of luck. It seems the second-generation tablet is completely sold out in most of the 25 countries where it debuted last Friday, March 25.
Similar to when the iPad 2 debuted in the U.S. on March 11, international supplies of Apple’s newest iDevice became exhausted by Saturday.
According to Fortune, Apple’s Opera Store in Paris sold more than 3,000 iPad 2s between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Friday, and was sold out completely by Saturday at
4 p.m.
Similar stories were reported from London’s two flagship Apple Retail Stores, Regent Street and Covent Garden, where stocks were deleted by Saturday.
However, all is not lost: New supplies are expected today at some locations.
