Theres little fodder to make been a good rumor out of this much less arrive at what apple might have paid for said displays.

It’s ridiculous. Amazon’s average price for an iPad2 16GB wifi is almost $200 north of the retail price. Ebay is worse.

Is Tim Cook that bad and cannot foresee the impact of disruption in the supply of vital components.

Or this kind of news are FUDs created to give Apple a bad name as lousy manager.

Maybe 60 million. Lines were 4 times longer than IPad 1. IPad2 was rolled out internationally a month earlier than IPad1. 4X 2010 sales = 60 million. If they can make that many they’ll sell that many.
