Apple could sell over 14 million iPad 2 tablets in Q3

Retail

Sales of Apple’s iPad 2 tablet are set to explode in the third quarter according to Hong Kong-based research firm CLSA. Citing LCD sales data from DisplaySearch, the firm thinks Apple will unload 14.4 million iPad 2 tablets in the third quarter this year, well above the consensus of between 10 and 12 million units. But nothing is set in stone and Apple has widely missed iPad sales estimates in the past, though those misses were due largely to supply constraints. ”Keep in mind that AAPL has missed iPad consensus in 2 out of the last 3 quarters, even when supply chain forecasts were higher,” the firm’s note warns. If CLSA’s research is accurate, we can also expect Apple to launch a 4G LTE-compatible iPad model ahead of the holidays this year.

    Why the hell would you post this when they admit that they are usually wrong anyways?  Anyway to make Apple look better….

      Did you conveniently miss the rest of that sentence that read “though those misses were due largely to supply constraints.”?

      That’s the whole point of this story… supplies are finally catching up.

      They publicize some ridiculous mythical target (14 million iPads sold), and then Apple misses that target, and this somehow makes Apple look *better*?

      When you own the lion share of the tablet market what purpose is there to make them “look” better.. They’re obviously the best in that market

        It doesn’t suck, it’s just pretty obvious that BGR is an Apple cheerleader.  If I thought it sucked that bad I would stop visiting.

      Every single quarter Apple gives earnings numbers that basically say, “Thank you for all of the free press but in all honesty we really don’t need anyone to do shlt for us because we are a T-Rex”.

    I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, RawCent. com
