“Supply concerns over Apple Inc’s new iPad are ‘overblown,’ Jefferies said in a note, adding that the company is expected to produce 12-15 million tablets this quarter,” Himank Sharma reports for Reuters.
“The third generation iPad sports a crisper display, dubbed the Retina Display, and some industry commentators and technology blogs have said the company could face a supply crunch for these displays in the near term,” Sharma reports. “Jefferies analyst Peter Misek, however, said industry concerns over the sharper screens used in the new iPad were unfounded, as Apple suppliers have ramped up production for the new display. ‘Despite widespread concerns, we believe there will be enough screens for the new iPads,’ said Misek, who raised his price target on Apple stock to $699.”
Sharma reports, “Jefferies’ Misek, rated five stars by Thomson Reuters StarMine for the accuracy for his earnings estimates on Apple, also said the company would launch its widely speculated “iTV” television set later this year. Misek said the company is expected to start full-scale production of the rumored “iTV” television by May or June for a fourth-quarter launch.”

Someone needs to watch the new JCP commercials…
That’s jcp now.
It’s a shame that the new iPad didn’t include the falsly-rumored haptic touch capability – then again, the millions of poor third-world people willing to go blind and give up their eyeballs for use in the production of Apple iPad retina displays probably couldn’t afford an iPad anyway.
For shame, TS. Everyone knows that that’s not what “retina display” means.
They use baby seals, not people. Why do you think Greenpeace doesn’t like them?
Was not iTV already moved to 2013 by Munster?
I mean, seriously, these people will never set their opinion straight about when the ever elusive iTV will appear. ;))
Thought the iTV was gonna be 699, for a 40 inch that would be sweet, stock price, well that’s a given.
iTV = DOA. Not a chance anyone will buy that overpriced TV set.
Well of course you’re right BLN! Just like your oft-repeated prediction that the iPhone 4S would flop because it didn’t have a 5 inch screen. What other pearls of wisdom do you have for us?
