If there are still people who believe that the launch of the iPad 3 was a failure, then the information from Apple's online stores should bring them down to earth. The iPad 3 tablet was launched on Friday in 10 countries and Apple lists the tablet as available for delivery in 2-3 weeks in most online stores, the only exception being Hong Kong where the tablet is unavailable. Practically all the stock of iPad tablets for the online store has already been sold out and the physical stores I'm starting to run out of products.
This year, people preferred to buy the tablet online instead of waiting in line in front of Apple stores, and some immediately concluded that the tablet would no longer be as popular. Well, the conclusion is wrong because many Apple stores had queues, they disappeared quickly, the units remained in stock but apparently not for long. The best indicator of a successful launch is the online store where the tablets are unavailable the problems that UPS and FedEx they had them with the delivery of the tablets in the USA.
iPad 3 most likely recorded much better sales than iPad 2, but in the future everything will move online and the famous queues in front of Apple stores will remain only a sad memory for those who waited hours/days to buy a new iDevice.
