Perhaps they will. But while Apple earnings beat Wall Street expectations today, as they usually do, the company missed the mark on iPads by a wide margin.

As Dan Frommer at Business Insider reports, consensus estimates for the iPad were 4.7 million units shipped, with some hoping for as many as 5.5 million.

Today Apple reported it had shipped just 4.19 million units. Its too early to know if these numbers represent weak demand, supply chain problems or the simple fact that Apple likes to limit the supply of new devices when they debut to add to the gadget's luxury appeal.
