Best Buy Restricts Sales on iPad 2

Best Buy, one several retailers selling the iPad 2, has recently explained that it is restricting iPad 2 sales. This is because it has struggled with supply constraints with the iPad. Best Buy spokesman Jeff Haydock explained that this is a customary practice for the company, and that they are delighted by customer's responses to Apple's new product.Best Buy is not the only company experiencing restricted supply of the iPad 2. IHS iSuppli explained that the iPad 2 might suffer from parts-supply shortages for its electronic compass, its battery, and possibly the touchscreen glass because of the the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Apple's online store now has delays of up to a few months for the iPad 2.

Each time I go to Best Buy, I see so many people playing with the iPad 2. There are always lines of people behind them waiting to experience the new technology. People are so anxious to buy the iPad, which is why these shortages exist. At first, I did not see the purpose of the iPad, and was sure that it would fail. I am extremely surprised by how well it is doing. I now see how popular the device is, and I see the high demand that exists today. With the shortages that exist right now, I believe that Apple needs to work very hard to meet the high demands that exist.
