iPad 2: 5 million for July delivery revealed

Apple is pursuing a broad flight of growth for the production of iPad 2 this summer, so wide as to arouse suspicion. A hardware vendor on behalf of Apple to have explained to the assemblers over five million touch panels for the month of July, as was done in June.

Production could be separated if the rumors about a third to be released in October iPad were true: the upgrade could gradually reduce the production of iPad 2 in favor of a transition to the newer model.

Several companies are involved in maintaining the pace dictated by Apple: TPK Wintek and make the lion's share, with 1.4 - 1.6 million units, followed by Cando, Chimei Innolux, and Sintek Photronic. If correct, the calculation may at outperform those made by Acer, which plans to deliver 800.000 Tabs Iconia throughout the summer, a time when Apple produces 15 million units sold.

Calculated that RIM is estimated to sell 2.4 million devices, however, significantly lower numbers than even the expected, Apple still can not sleep nights sleep.
