Tying into Tim Cook's claim of a "record weekend" for the new iPad, AT&T spokesman Seth Bloom just tweeted that the carrier set its own iPad sales and activation records on Friday. That's significant considering how long AT&T has been stocking various versions of the iPad — and it lends credence to the thought that the latest model has been doing extraordinarily well. There have been various reports that it hasn't sold out, but it seems possible (if not likely) that Apple has simply grown production capacity enough to ride the demand wave.
