Specifically:
• 37 (74%) of stores were completely sold out of all models
• All 50 (100%) were sold out of the 3G models
• 13 (26%) had only Wi-Fi models left to sell
Elmer-Dewitt reports, “With the international roll-out of the iPad scheduled to begin May 28 — a week from today — Munster believes that supply won’t catch up to demand until mid to late summer.”

I believe Stephen was being sarcastic.
Me, sarcastic? Noooo.
Those same analysts that said the iPad was useless and predicted it would be a failure will now complain that Apple was negligent for not making enough of them.
We knew there would be no way to share a single iPad. We each have our own. I will say that my wife has her nose burried in hers more often.
Microsoft shares have begun their death spiral. PCs, notebooks, tablets, phones, applications, Internet, etc all downhill.
There is no one winner, but a few contenders.
I have to imagine Apple isn’t shipping their entire production to the US when they have an international rollout scheduled. Also Apple very well knows that a constrained supply can lead to greater demand if one plays their cards right and doesn’t make the wait unbearable.
What a profit problem:-). Design great products combined with
careful planning and marketing is what Apple is all about!!!!
Buy. AAPL
Even with this stuck (dead) pixel and nagging wi-fi problem, I LOVE THE iPAD! Great device. Can’t wait to see (and buy) future iterations of this device (preferably one with more system RAM).
Dare we say “Bloodbath”
OMG! We can’t keep up with demand! If we can’t, Wall Street will slam us!!! Uh, wait a minute. If we do meet demand, then Wall Street will slam us, because they’ll say demand for our product is soft. So, if we can’t keep up with demand, they’ll say we’re doomed. But if we do have enough iPads to sell to everyone, Wall Street will say we’re a failure because we didn’t sell enough.
Now, excuse us for being a bit confused, but how exactly do we keep Wall Street happy?

Why do you want more Ram? What can’t you do now? My experience is for many things my iPad is snappier than my 8 gig 7i iMac. Just asking
This is the first time I’ve seen percentages add up to 100% in a while.

“When I’m working on the big monitors, the iPad sits right below playing movies and TV.”
Hmm, sounds like some high-quality work you are doing. ;P
My 3g 64GB arrives Friday but I won’t be using the 3g till Rogers allows me to share my data.
Love my 32G Wifi, but come on folks… get real.
The iPad is not really finished yet. The OS is buggy and inefficient. There are not enough HD apps yet… The software needs work.
I am hoping the OS update in the Fall will be significant…
The iPad needs some help. Not bad for v1. but still not quite ready for prime time. Really.
You’ll be relieved to know there are more than enough Nexus 1 phones available to meet demand.
You think it’s bad now. Holiday 2010: people will fight for iPads.
It is usually very bad if a company cannot meet demand, because the potential customer will find and buy an alternative product from a competitor. For Apple, it’s not necessarily a good thing, but it’s not a lost sale either; it is a delayed sale. There is no current alternative to iPad, at least not one that is acceptable and desirable. Customers will wait, and most will understand that there is such strong demand because it is an exceptional product, and will therefore covet one even more.
Apple seems to be able to pull this off this “move” over and over again, with various iPods, iPhones, and Mac models. It’s basically part of their overall strategy – to introduce new products that are very hard for the competition to copy and match.
For iPad, there is an added benefit to a delay. If it takes until “late summer” for Apple to match demand with supply, a higher percentage of customers will be getting an iPad with iPhone OS 4.0 pre-installed. I think that will boost user satisfaction from those many first time Apple customers even higher.
Yup off-course why not, apple dose this, but then will come the difference in his ability, so according to me It is no need for Apple.
