In Response to Matt Vest iPad 2

Has Apple outdone it's self again? Apple announced that it is releasing the iPad 2 and already is behind on filling orders. Its sold out and pre ordered to the max, so why would Apple release a product that it cannot keep up demands for? Why not wait and produce enough so 80% of the market can buy one the day they come out? Because of marketing. Apple wants people to not be able to get the iPad 2 because we all know that when your cannot have something that makes you want it that much more, thus driving sales and prices to a premium. Apple feeds off consumer competition who wants the first one? the customer with the largest wallet or the most amount of free time so they can stand in line all week. I like Matt's stance on economic recession and Apple outselling every product it makes. From iPhones to iPods Apples sales have gone where no other company has and the scary thought is that the U.S. has been in an economic recession this whole time. So i ask this question, How can the U.S. be seen as in a recession in the eyes of the business world when Apple is recording record sales and revenue? Unemployment rates are astronomically high, but somehow Apple is finding enough revenue to have over 80 billion dollars cash... which came from where.... Us.
