Apple Sells 3 Million iPads In 80 Days
Apple has announced that in just 80 days they have sold through 3 million iPads. This is not surprising given the availability of the device is constantly at least 7-10 days out. Below is from the official press release:
Apple® today announced that it sold its three millionth iPad™ yesterday, just 80 days after its introduction in the US. iPad is a revolutionary and magical product that allows users to connect with their apps, content and the Internet in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.
“People are loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more people around the world, including those in nine more countries next month.”
Constant jokes about the iPad being just a large iPod Touch may have a tough time continuing to be funny with such impressive sales figures. Apple is having trouble manufacturing enough iPads to support demand for the new mobile computing product. I’m beginning to wonder if the new features of the iPhone 4 will have any impact on the extremely high demand of the iPad. What do you think?
