Apple expected to top 1 million sales of iPad2 in first weekend
Analysts expect Apple Inc. to have sold close to 1 million iPad 2 tablet computers on its debut weekend — significantly more than the first iPad, which went on sale in April 2010, Reuters reported. Best Buy Co. said last Friday that some of its outlets ran out of the tablet and its accessories within 10 minutes. Global Equities Research LLC analyst Trip Chowdhry estimates that Apple may have sold three times more iPad 2 tablets in the first two days compared with the previous version. Most analysts had projected sales of 350,000 to 400,000 iPads in its debut weekend, Reuters said.
