Best Buy ran out of online stock of Apple iPad 2 on Black Friday, Electronista reports. All models of the coveted tablet are now listed as "sold out online," including even the more expensive 64GB 3G models.

The rush can be attributed to Best Buy's $45 Thanksgiving weekend discount on all iPad 2 models.

According to the Electronista report, many branches of Best Buy are also likely out of stock; a check in the Austin, Texas area shows no stores with inventory.

This news about stock shortages suggests that the demand for the iPad 2 is still at a high level, despite reports that it may be on the wane.

Best Buy also offered the following deals on other Apple products on Black Friday:

---$150 off iMacs and MacBook Pros (very limited stock in stores);
---iPhone 4 and 3GS at normal pricing ($99 and free, respectively, with a two-year Sprint or Verizon contract, but does not mention the iPhone 4s at all);
---the current-model of Apple TV at $10 off;
---the 32GB iPod Touch at $5 savings;
---$100 iTunes gift cards for $80;
---iPod nano 8gig, $5 off its normal price with $15 Best Buy gift card;
---$5 off on the 8GB iPod Touch with a $50 Best Buy gift card; and
---iOS-compatible "app-cessories" such as the Helo TC remote control helicopter for $15 off its normal $50 price.
