		<description><![CDATA[Apple does this with ever product launch. Short the supply so they can claim it was sold out, thus making all these infantile people that can&#039;t wait even more anxious that they have to buy asap.

At this point Apple has a very good idea how many they will sell in a quarter and most likely the first month, but they always are short--yeah, right the demand increased that much. Same story, different day, same Apple marketing trick and all the blogs fall for it every single time!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More than likely its a shortage of built ipad2&#039;s. Possibly from the switch to  Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co for their chips instead of Samsung. Maybe even more trouble at Foxconn again. Also the possibility that Apple is playing the &quot;Look at us we&#039;ve been selling out for X amount of time&quot; that so many companies use for publicity.

The idea that a business (especially one with shareholders) would purposefully limit themselves in order to give customers a second chance to think and go with another product is silly. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m kind of glad they had a total of TEN at our Best Buy since it would have probably been a spontaneous buy if they had anything in stock.  I&#039;ll probably think better of it later and hold out for something better spec&#039;d when the time comes.

Of the line of 13 that was waiting in line probably only 4 people walked away with anything since there are so many of versions of the iPad and only 10 total units to choose from.

I went to Target first and they only had 5 64GB 3G versions (and a very short line of 3).

I guess it&#039;s a great safety mechanism for spontaneous buyers.  Unless you were hard set on getting one you&#039;ll probably avoid buyers remorse later once you&#039;ve had time to think about it and the hype is over.  I&#039;m glad Apple was thinking of us. =)]]></description>
