Well, it looks like it's not just iPad pre-orders that are possibly be
beating a few expectations -- according to
NPD, sales of Macs and iPods were also up over some estimates in January and February. More specifically, NPD's Gene Munster says that sales of Macs were up 39% year over year for the two months (ahead of estimates of 22%), which should translate to sales of between 2.8 to 2.9 million Macs for the full quarter, while iPod sales were up 7% during the same period, suggesting total iPod sales of between nine and ten million for the first quarter. That latter number may actually be the more impressive of the two, as it marks the first time iPod sales have rebounded into positive territory in a full sixteen months -- although that trend could just as easily be reversed again if, say, Apple rolls out a new iPhone that cuts into iPod sales.

Not surprisingly on
Apple's earnings call today, there were a lot of questions about Apple's newest product, the iPad. And I do mean a lot -- it seems that about half of the questions were about the product. Unfortunately, neither Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer nor COO Tim Cook gave many answers about the product. Their standard line was that there wasn't enough data yet to draw any conclusions. But Cook did slip in a few interesting statements about the device. When asked about Apple's recent decision to delay iPad shipments to Europe, Cook candidly said that U.S. demand for the iPad "
has shocked us." He noted that it's a good problem to have, and that there are no production problems -- Apple simply underestimated how popular the device would be right off the bat. Apple announced that first day sales
surpassed 300,000 and that first week sales were
past 500,000. But since then, they haven't said much. Some estimates put sales past 1 million already.
