Steve Jobs Wants to Manufacture 2.5 Million iPads A Month

Don’t get me wrong, he only wants to reply to emails and drink cocktails with some Gawker dude.

Thing is, Vijay Rakesh is writing that Apple wants to crank up production of the iPad and get 2.5 million units a month out of factories. Impressive, isn’t it? As Barron’s reports, Apple has been producing 1 / 1.5 millions units a month for a while now, and the production could go up to 2.5 million by this September.

On a side note, please remember that the iPad is still sold out in many retail stores. And he’s answering emails. What a weird strategy.
