Apple announces that they've sold 300,000 iPads on launch day
With some extremely optimistic figures being thrown around among analysts regarding Apple's launch of the iPad, a clearer picture has emerged from Apple that provides some insights to the weekend's festivities. The actual number of iPads sold on launch day came in at around 300,000 – which was in line with the initial estimated figures being penciled in by analysts. The healthy figure consisted the pre-orders that were made, sales at Apple stores nationwide, and sales that came from their launch partner found in Best Buy. Not ending just at the physical amount of units pushed out, there were approximately over 250,000 iBooks bought and over 1,000,000 apps downloaded by iPad users – these numbers just add to the staggering successful launch for Apple's product. The big man himself, Steve jobs said about the launch, “It feels great to have the iPad launched into the world—it’s going to be a game changer. iPad users, on average, downloaded more than three apps and close to one book within hours of unpacking their new iPad.” Still looking forward to the 3G enabled iPad models to become available soon and an expected new iPhone on the horizon, Apple's fortunes look to remain intact down the road.

who would be stupid enough to buy an ipad? piece of shit DNT even have flash player. to me its worthless if it doesnt have flash player.. call me old fashioned but i rather stick to my sony laptop that's 10 times better and has a webcam, usb port and flash player .....

16. whocares posted on 05 Apr 2010, 14:18

key words "to me". thats why people buy ipads. not everyone cares about flash player. or anything you listed.

19. jenna_23 posted on 05 Apr 2010, 15:56

those are the things most of us ordinary people use! almost all the websites out there require flash player to view them..like i mean cmon lets face it ALL THE WEBSITES OUT THERE REQUIRE SOME KIND OF FLASH PLAYER TO FULLY ENJOY THEM EVEN MY 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER KNOWS THAT.... and many people like me need the webcam to talk to family relatives, friends etc using skype...... people just buy them cause its ''the latest thing'' i bet that if apple took out a new dildo shaped ipod stupid people would make line to buy one because ''its the latest thing''.... people just buy things even if there worthless just to be cool cause its the newest gadget out there ..

who made you the authority on who is ordinary?

21. whocares posted on 05 Apr 2010, 16:34

oh and according to the article there were 250k ibooks sold... they dont need flash to run an ibook. maybe people are buying them to condense book space and ease the reading. 1million apps? they dont require flash.

There should be a term for the reverse fanboy. Someone who hates a company (even though a company isn't a living thing) no matter what it does...even if it cures cancer...

9. whocares posted on 05 Apr 2010, 12:13

very true. those who cant appreciate competition. which also improves technology at a faster rate...

12. gambino37 posted on 05 Apr 2010, 13:00

Why does something have to be living to be hated? I'm not following your logic. And whocares beat me straight up. Lol. I was in the mood for some trolling today and he called me out. Lol. I also agree to the competition aspect. I just think that Apple needs to be busted down a few pegs from time to time.

14. whocares posted on 05 Apr 2010, 14:00

i have a new respect for you cuz trolling is the best :D

You apple fanboys are the ones that don't appreciate competition you hate everything that is not apple you also think that apple invented everything they invented nothing to tell you the truth now the public and you brainwashed idiots are convinced that apple is solely responsible for this slate type device this oversized iPod touch HTC is already miles ahead of apple in the cellphone department which is what we are supposed to be discussing here on this site and not this ipad
