Apple planned the outage to make the iFaithful salivate more and to prove to the tech press that demand is high.
Maybe. Apple sent out an email this morning letting people know that preorders were still available for next Friday delivery at 9am eastern time. So my guess is that, initially at least, their sales weren't as good as they hoped. Indeed, I ordered one just in case I decided I wanted one. If not, I'll set it for slightly above cost when it comes in.
