A new report from CrunchGear published today has revealed that Apple may be unhappy with Best Buy for holding back stock of the iPad 2 after reaching their daily sales quota. Despite the overwhelming demand for the second generation device, and the difficult consumers are having with trying to acquire one, the retailer refused to sell more than they needed to each day so that they could meet sales quotas the following day.

According to the Best Buy employee speaking to CrunchGear, Apple really isn’t happy about this, and Tim Cook – who is stepping in for Steve Jobs while he’s away – is personally trying to get the issue resolved.

Demand for the iPad 2 since its launch has been staggering – with retailers selling the device quicker than they can get the units in. In its first weekend, the tablet sold an estimated 500,000 units over its first weekend alone, so you can imagine the frustration from both Apple and consumers at Best Buy’s silly sales method – informing customers that the device was sold out, when in fact, their stock room was littered with them.

As well as Best Buy and Apple’s own retail stores, customers looking to get their hands on an iPad 2 in the U.S. can also find them in Target, Walmart, AT&T and Verizon stores, and possibly Toys ‘R’ Us in the coming weeks. However, Best Buy is Apple’s largest third-party sales partner, and despite their displeasure at Best Buy’s sales techniques, it’s hard to believe the Cupertino company will drop the retail giant altogether.

Instead, I think Best Buy will receive a firm slap on the wrist from Tim Cook and his team and will be watched a little more closely in the near future.

So, if you’re still trying to get your hands on an iPad 2 in the U.S., it might be a good idea to try Best Buy today as they pull out all the stock they’ve been saving up out back.

Apple had been struggling to meet the demand for iPad 2 as the estimated shipping time went up-to 4-6 weeks recently, however, now its back to the usual 2-3 weeks time period. When the tablet went on sale in early March it was available at Apple’s retail stores, online store, Walmart, Best Buy and Target.

During the iPad 2 launch event Steve Jobs said that it will be first dual-core tablet to ship in volume and it seems that Apple plans to aggressively sell their latest iOS device by making it available at even more retail stores across U.S.

Toys R Us branded product sheet which was revealed earlier today, if true, points to conclusive evidence that iPad 2 will certainly be available at the leading retail store for kids. In addition to the tablet, the store will also sell accessories like the Smart Cover, iPad camera connection kit and VGA connector.

This is great news for anyone who is planning to buy the iPad 2 soon as it gives them more options to choose the nearest retail store to make their purchase.
