Apple Records 3 Million iPad Sales in 80 Days [Official]
iPad received a lot of criticism when it got launched, and many experts said it to be nothing more than a giant iPod Touch. But with each passing day Apple is recording outstanding sales records. iPad touched the 1 million mark in just 28 days and 2 million in 60 days. Apple took another 20 days to reach to 3 million, and it is still counting.
Apple is pretty confident that demand will increase, as iPad will be launched in nine more countries in the coming month. And yes, number of iPad apps have also increased to 11,000.
Here is the official press release from Apple:
CUPERTINO, California—June 22, 2010—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.”
Developers have created over 11,000 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 225,000 apps on the App Store, including apps already purchased for your iPhone® or iPod touch®.
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.*
