Suppliers to ship 5 million iPad 2 touch sensors this month

Since the iPad 2′s launch earlier this year, it looks consumer demand for the iOS tablet hasn't been slowing down at all. Facing shortages earlier this year, and then recovering - Apple isn't going to let that happen again. The company has been reported to be receiving a shipment of 5 million touch sensors for the iPad 2 this month.

With Apple expected to ship between 12-14 million iPads in Q3 of 2011, analysts are predicting around 40 million units of iPad tablets will be sold in the calendar year. A figure much higher than Samsung hopes to achieve with the Galaxy S II which in turn shows just how popular the iPad is. With Apple intending to sell so many iPad 2 tablets this year, it's highly unlikely we'll be seeing an iPad 3 later this year though Apple is always full of surprises.
