Analysts hastily up iPad unit sales estimates

invisibleSHIELD case for iPadPhilip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune, “In the wake of Apple’s (AAPL) announcement Monday that it has sold its 2 millionth iPad, we have a flurry of new estimates.”

Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster:
• iPad sales, calendar 2010: to 6.2 million units from 4.3 million.

MacDailyNews Take: Bzzzt! Still too low, Gene.

Barclays Capital’s Ben Reitzes:
• iPad sales, June quarter: to 2.8 million units from 1.5 million

MacDailyNews Take: Also too low.

Kaufman Bros.’ Shaw Wu:
• iPad sales, calendar 2010: to 8 million from 6.3 million

MacDailyNews Take: Too low.

Broadpoint Amtech’s Dinesh Moorjani:
• iPad sales, calendar 2010: to 10 million from 6 million

MacDailyNews Take: Getting closer, but, Dinesh, unless Christmas is cancelled this year, you’ll need to revise upwards again, too.

Many more numbers in the full article here.

MacDailyNews Take: We’ve been saying that the analysts’ estimates are all too low since they began releasing estimates. Unless, due to some unforeseen event, Apple can’t make more than 10 million iPads this year, the analysts estimates listed above are all still too low.
