You?d have to be extremely lucky to find an iPad 2 at your local Apple store, because the tablet seems to be sold out everywhere.
The iPad 2, which went on sale 5 p.m. Friday, was completely sold out by the end of the weekend, according to financial analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray.
Even the ninth person standing in line for an iPad 2 at an Apple store in Los Angeles couldn?t get the model he wanted (a white, 64-GB iPad 2 with 3G), reports 9 to 5 Mac.
Piper Jaffray?s Munster estimates that between 400,000 and 500,000 units of the iPad 2 sold over the weekend, compared to 300,000 iPad 1s sold in its launch weekend last year.
That?s a lot of iPads, but the iPhone is still Apple?s hottest selling product. The iPhone 4 sold 1.7 million units in opening weekend.
So that means if you weren?t one of the eager line waiters, you?ll have to wait a while if you want an iPad 2. On Friday, Apple?s website quoted an estimated delivery time of two to three weeks for an iPad 2 ordered online, and as of this morning, that ETA has been updated to three to four weeks.
While you?re waiting, make sure to check out Wired.com?s review of the iPad 2, which went live Monday afternoon.
