Karma, good old fashion Karma...

It may start to be difficult to get an iPad2 from a certain Electronics retailer with the initials BB anytime soon.  As many of you know, the iPad2 has been sold out literally everywhere with waiting lists lasting weeks.  Word from Crunchgear that Apple is not very happy with BB over their sales techniques.  Apparently BB gets a stock and decides to put a quota on how many they will sell each day.  When that quota is met, they stop and tell all interested customers that they are sold out.  I imagine it helps store traffic to have people coming in everyday looking for an iPad, but Apple isnt smiling at this.  According to Crunchgear, BB is being blacklisted by Apple for now.  So they might want to keep that stock they have been hording up, they are not going to see a new stock for a long time.

To add insanity to this story, in another state, according to Crunchgear, some customers are being told they must buy the worthless BB extended warranty in order to get an iPad2 in stock.  When customers protested, some were told try and find one somewhere else.
