Best Buy has sold out of Apple’s iPad at all 673 of its U.S. stores with Apple shops, Dow Jones Newswires reported Thursday.
In an email, Best Buy spokeswoman Paula Baldwin confirmed the sellout and said the retailer expects to have inventory replenished by Sunday, when the retailer’s newspaper circular will feature the tablet computer on its cover. She didn’t immediately provide additional comment.
Best Buy was the only non-Apple retailer in the U.S. to have the tablet computer in its stores when it launched on Saturday. Best Buy hasn’t commented on how much inventory it received or on sales.
Website Engadget reported that Best Buy will begin selling Barnes & Noble’s Nook e-reader starting April 18. Baldwin didn’t immediately comment on the report and Barnes & Noble said it hadn’t made any announcements on such a move.
