You'd be right, except they sold every iPad they could get out the door. You might more complain that they didn't plan to make enough, Or maybe they ran into production difficulties - they were having troubles with light leaks - and maybe Samsung was stiffing them on chips (wouldn't surprise me - I don't trust that outfit). iPad 2 came out on March 2, giving it a whole month of the quarter. iPad 1 sales slowed in anticipation and Apple was selling out the channel for them - the remainders of which were sold at clearance prices after iPad2 came out - probably to mollify the prospective buyers because they couldn't get version 2 out fast enough. You don't have to mention that I'm an apologist for them, because I know I am. But then I'm not apologizing for much. Am I? They had a killer quarter and iPad 2 sales are smoking anything running droid.
