MacBook Pro Sales Impress Analyst
"Apple's decision to cut prices across its MacBook lineup is about to be validated, according to an analyst's estimate.After several months of declining Mac sales compared against 2008 numbers, Apple looks to be back on track with its June Mac shipments, says Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. His firm initially estimated that Apple would sell 2.2 million Macs during its third quarter of 2009, which ended in June. Munster now says he's "increasingly confident" in that report because Apple is having trouble keeping its new 13-inch MacBook Pro in stock." 
Looks like this is only on the faster 2.53 GHz 13 inch, which according to the Apple site shows a 7 to 10 day ship date, while the slower 2.26 GHz MacBook Pro 13 inch still shows as shipping within 24 hours. According to Munster some of the brick and mortar stores are also showing shortages in the same models. If you were planning on getting one of these online, sounds like you need to do some pre-planning. Or if you planned on just dropping by your local Apple store, best to call ahead!
