Apple blacklisted Best Buy for iPad 2 mishandling

April 8th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

Apple has blacklisted one retail giant Best Buy for how they have handled the sales of the iPad 2. Apparently Best Buy was telling people they were sold out of the hot item when in fact they had plenty in stock. The idea was that Best Buy had met their sales quota for the day and figured why not make the next better as well. So for the time being Apple will not sell iPads to Best Buy. Showing how much Apple has in pull, they feel their product has such a demand they would rather eliminate a huge retailer and spread the iPads to other retailers. This is still considered a rumor but it looks like Apple is investigating and has taken some strong action in the mean time.
