I was talking to my buddy who works at bestbuy and was blown away by the popularity of this thing... I mean, I bought one at launch and saw the numbers... but just check this conversation out... It blows my mind.. Mind you, I don't live in a "huge" city either (Pensacola, FL). And for those of you who require an explanation for my thread: To show how in demand the iPad, not only was, but still is! I can't believe they get 120 a week and can't keep them more than a day.

naw its not weird i think it is apples new selling strad to make people want them more
12:47amMe
seems legit but I'm sure they would love to send you 100 units it's probably just not feasible for whatever reason... apple doesn't always make the choices that WE want but they are smart... they know what they are doing...
bastards, lol...
i have to buy a new iPod and iPhone every year!
now a new iPad!
12:48amCaleb
lmao
the thing is that they do send us around 60
so that seems plenty
or at least i guess that is what they think
12:49amMe
REALLY?
DAMN
12:49amCaleb
they would have to send us about 200 every shipment
for us to not run out
12:49amMe
how often you get em?
12:49amCaleb
2 times a week
12:49amMe
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?
12:50amCaleb
man when we run out i have at least 5 customers per day ask me if they are in
and i am just 1 of 15 people that work in my department
and i usually avoid the ipads
12:52amMe
wow dude i mean i know its popular but i had no idea it was like that
its funny.... bc before the launch it was "just a big iPhone".....
12:53amCaleb
dude. ****ing everyone and there mom wants one
12:53amMe
hahahaha
12:53amCaleb
and everyone of em gets pissed when we never have it in
 
Apple only sold 3 million units in 80 days...

What about the Apple iPad cases, they sell out within an hour after re-stocking shelves.
