First iPad touched the 1 million mark in just 28 days after its release, and now Apple has announced that it has managed to sell 2 million iPad in under 60 days since April 3, which was the launch day of iPad. This was greatly helped by the international release of iPad, with its delivery starting from 28th May.
Apple has also announced that iPad will be made available in 9 other countries in July, while left out countries will see its release later this year. Apple added that more than 5000 apps are already developed for iPad, along with 200,000 iPhone/iPod Touch apps which are compatible with iPad as well.
Official press release by Apple:
CUPERTINO, Calif., May 31./ Apple® today announced that iPad™ sales have topped two million in less than 60 days since its launch on April 3. Apple began shipping iPad in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK this past weekend. iPad will be available in nine more countries in July and additional countries later this year.
“Customers around the world are experiencing the magic of iPad, and seem to be loving it as much as we do,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We appreciate their patience, and are working hard to build enough iPads for everyone.”
iPad allows users to connect with their apps, content and the Internet in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before. Users can browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more, all using iPad’s revolutionary Multi-Touch™ user interface. iPad is 0.5 inches thin and weighs just 1.5 pounds—thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook—and delivers up to 10 hours of battery life.
Developers have created over 5,000 exciting new apps for iPad that take advantage of its Multi-Touch user interface, large screen and high-quality graphics. iPad will run almost all of the more than 200,000 apps on the App Store, including apps already purchased for your iPhone® or iPod touch®.
