March iPad2 sales up to 2.4 million to 2.6 million units

Beijing time, April 7 morning News, according to the latest data show that Apple's ipad 2 in March sales faster than the first generation of products, only shipments of up to 2.4 million to 2.6 million units. According to people familiar with the Apple supply chain, the current "conservative estimate" of the ipad 2 shipments in the second quarter was 4 million to 4.5 million, with total shipments of up to 12 million units in the second quarter.　　According to suppliers of touch-screen glass surface cover, the ipad 2 is selling at a much faster rate than the first ipad released in April 2010. The person also said that the "key" to the success of Apple and other tablet makers in the market was the availability of enough touch screen glass surface covers.　　To meet Apple's 2 sales target in 2011, Apple needs manufacturers to provide a stable supply. In January of this year, Apple has secretly signed a long-term cooperation agreement with producers of up to $3.9 billion trillion.　　Although manufacturers cannot disclose to outsiders what parts the agreement contains, according to insiders, it will be a similar type of glass capacitive touchscreen hardware. Since the ipad 2 was in a state of emergency in March, Apple has sold all its sources.　　If the manufacturer's estimates are correct, it means Apple sold at least 2.4 million ipad 2 in March. The first generation of ipads, by contrast, took 28 days to reach millions of sales. This was due to the fact that only the Wi-Fi version was available during the first month of the first ipad launch last year, while the ipad 2 was listed with both Wi-Fi and 3G versions. In addition, Apple began selling ipad 2 in 25 countries and regions by the end of March, a move that was faster than the first-generation ipad. (linjing)
