Apple Sold Close To 1 Million iPad 2s Over Weekend: Analysts

Reuters: Although Apple has not yet released any official sales figures for its iPad 2, some analysts believe the company sold close to a million of the tablets over the weekend."We would not be surprised to see Apple sell closer to 1 million iPad2s in the opening weekend," said Wedbush Securities analyst Scott Sutherland.

Retailer Best Buy says that some of its stores sold out of the iPad 2 in just ten minutes.

According to Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry, sales for the second generation iPad may have been two to three times as fast as initial weekend sales for the first iPad and 60 percent of iPad 2 buyers had previously purchased an iPad.
