Dear Apple,
As both a customer and a loyal supporter/well-wisher of your company, this makes me very, very sad. It’s 2011. You’ve been building iPhones and iPads for a long time now. There is absolutely no reason you should be sold out of iPad 2 nation-wide after two days. I don’t care how overwhelming the demand is. There should never be a 40+ day shipping timeline for released products. You need to fix this immediately. I’m not a shareholder, but if I were I would be furious. Millions (billions?) of dollars are on the table. Demand is good, but demand without sales is very bad.
Love, Garrett

…as if every single person on the project isn’t busting their ass to ship as many as they can. Meanwhile people complain when their iPad’s screen adhesive isn’t finished drying yet, or that it doesn’t include a hi-res cameras but complain over rising prices.
If any other company were pushing out products like Apple does, on the scale that Apple does, with the quality that Apple does…with higher efficiency, then complain all you want. But there’s not. Unless you have a feasible solution or idea, let Apple take care of the problem. They’re much more aware of the situation than anyone else.
What’s with people feeling entitled to everything these days?
