This summer Apple iPad shipments may reach 10.5 million according to a report from Digitimes. Apple has reportedly tapped Chimei Innolux to boost their supply of panels for the iPad 2. CMI is is expected to produce up to 500,000 panels in June and may ramp up production to over one million in July. Between CMI, TPK Holding and Wintek, Apple should have an ample supply of panels to ship over 10.5 million iPads in the summer quarter.

Well, if you're nitpicking, the title should say "10.5M", not "10.5m". 10.5 megashimpents, not millishipments. ;)

Duh?

Apple sold 19M iPads till 2nd Quarter 2011. Assuming that half of those sold were iPad 2, that leaves the iPad at roughly 17M units sold.

Apple announced at WWDC that 25M iPads total have been sold, that means Apple has sold 8M iPad 2 units. At the average rate of sale, it will easily break the 10M unit mark by the end of August.
