Apple’s revolutionary iPad 2 looks like “a must-have update for millions of people,” John Brownlee reports for Cult of Mac.
MacDailyNews Take: Look to the left, our poll screams “iPad 2 demand is off-the-charts!”
Brownlee continues, “It’s the Apple magic at work, and look no further than the massive volume of original trade-ins that reCommerce companies like Gazelle, eBay and NextWorth are experiencing for proof that the iPad 2 is going to sell like gang busters. Gazelle, for example, has been swamped with trade-in requests since the iPad’s announcement. In fact, they’ve already paid out over a million dollars to consumers looking to cash-in their iPad and replace it with the iPad 2.”
“Historically, trade-in rates are accurate predictors of a gadget’s sales, and so far, iPad trade-ins are exceeding all expectations of even the experts,” Brownlee reports. “If you think everyone and their mother isn’t going to be trying to get their hands on an iPad 2 come next Friday, you’re crazy.”

Hey Charlies, OK. Leave him alone.
I like the way America isnt able to stop its insanity and crazed Capitalist behaviour. Goodbye USA, nice knowing you.
(BTW, it was Dick Cheney who organized 911, not me.)
Thanks for stopping by guys.
All indications show the iPad 2 will be more successful than the original. Indeed, I expect enterprise purchases and deployments to be double that of last year.
I usually don’t go for “1.0” products… except for Apple. So those who have subscribed to this adage have no excuse now!
I have a feeling demand will exceed supply all year long. So ordering early and often is advised. Don’t forget to order the HDMI dongle too. 😉 I’m ordering mine the moment the lines open Friday morning @ 5 AM Pacific.
Do you think the lines will be long at Wal-Mart?
Walmart won’t have it on day 1. This I guarantee.
