iPad Showing Up as 'Deleted' in Best Buy Inventories
Following up on yesterday's report that Apple is cutting off supplies of all iPad models to resellers ahead of tomorrow's media event, we've just heard from a Best Buy source that all iPad models have been transitioned to a "deleted" status at the source's store.
There is no word yet on any incoming shipments or placeholders in Best Buy's systems, but Apple is widely expected to introduce updated iPads at tomorrow's event, with availability rumored to come very soon after.
Best Buy inventory screens can be unreliable sources of information given the company's tendency to use placeholders based on rumors and guesses rather than concrete information, but they occasionally do offer accurate information and can be a good source of insight into supply constraints due to the company's role as a major Apple retail partner.

This confirms it. There will be no iPad 2. Wednesdays event will be about iMacs and mention the discontinuation of iPad which has been an under performer.

I'd only be impressed if they are the same price or cheaper.
I'm thinking the new start is $599 (but all will have 3G). If you want it cheaper you can get them through subsidies or you can get a 1st gen refurb.

I like this logic. It is the only logical conclusion with the facts given.
R.I.P. iPad.

No way.

Yup, the fact that it has been deleted just means that the trolls were right all along: the iPad will never sell, and now Apple has seen the light.
