A launch perfectly timed to coincide with the end of Apple’s second fiscal quarter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reports are still drifting in, but it seems likely that most of the 25 countries<\/a> where Apple (AAPL<\/a>) launched the iPad 2 on Friday had run out of product by Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Pocket-lint<\/a> reports that the two flagship Apple Stores in London — Regent Street and Covent Garden — are completely out of stock and won’t be getting more before Monday. Checks by Electronista<\/a> and The Province<\/a> with several Canadian Apple Stores found the same. A shopper at Apple’s Opera Store in Paris reported that the outlet sold more than 3,000 iPad 2s between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. Friday, and although the store was still selling iPads Saturday morning, it wasn’t clear how much longer that would last.<\/p>\n

Most third-party resellers — Carphone Warehouse, Currys, PC World, and Phones4U in London, for example, and Best Buy, Future Shop and London Drugs in Canada — had limited supplies and ran out quickly.<\/p>\n

It look like Apple moved nearly its entire stockpile of iPad 2s by midnight Saturday, which happened to mark the last day of its second fiscal quarter.<\/p>\n

Pretty good timing.<\/p>\n

We’ll learn exactly how many iPads Apple sold between Dec. 26 and March 26 when the company reports its Q2 2011 earnings a few weeks from now.<\/p>\n
