Apple sells 1 million iPads


Apple on Monday said it sold its 1 millionth iPad (http://www.cnet.com/apple-ipad/) last Friday with the introduction of the iPad 3G model.
(Credit: Apple)
The company didn't say how many iPads of each model were sold, but we do know that on April 8 during the iPhone (http://www.cnet.com/apple-iphone.html)OS 4 event, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the company had sold 450,000 iPads (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20001876-37.html), so sales have remained brisk. The first model of the iPad, known as the Wi-Fi-only model for its most notable difference from the new 3G version (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31747_7-20003905-243.html), hit the market April 3.
Ahead of Apple's announcement, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said he believes Apple sold about 300,000 iPad 3Gs (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31747_7-20003953-243.html) in its opening weekend of sales. In fact, many of the Apple retail stores that Munster checked on Sunday afternoon had already sold out of the 3G models.
In all, it took Apple 28 days to reach the 1 million mark in iPad sales. The company also said that iPad customers have downloaded over 12 million apps and more than 1.5 million e-books from the iBookstore since the launch on April 3.

You know I use to think the iPad was stupid, but then I realized something. It's perfect for all those idiots who click on random shit and constantly get viruses and only use the PC for emails and surfing the net.

but what does it do that an (barf) i-phone doesn't do cheaper ?

What I didn't like was how the Gizmodo chief editor's house got raided AFTER he complied and returned the iPhone prototype that was found in a bar. Corporations can send the police to raid our houses now? FUCK NO. That shouldn't be allowed! The guy returned the fucking phone! Fuck you Steve Jobs. Fuck you Apple.

Now as for the iPad... Well, there's really not much to say is there?

Apple have turned into real assholes. Meh. They probably always were assholes, but now they're in a position where they can finally do what they have always dreamed off.

Looks like, against my predictions that the iPad is going to stay.

If people want something, they will buy it, that is all that there is to it.

[Teddy]

You guys didn't realize.

Apple is a totalitarian regime, guised as a tech company OOPS lol.

And America is a corporateocracy not democracy. They bow down to corporations cause of their money, the big business runs this nation lol not the government. So it's not surprising Apple paid them to raid people's houses.....

[DarkGuyver]

I really don't see the point in getting an iPad, mainly due to the fact that you could purchase a Netbook for a fraction of the price, which could anything the iPad could and more.

Don't get me wrong I was a big fan of the old Apple Mac (iMac) Computers mainly due to the fact that they were more secure than a PC. But it seems to me that Apple these days is heading down the same path as MicroSoft.

[Teddy]

So you don't think they're any more secure than windows machines nowadays?

[colsanders]

I wouldn't pay even half of what they're asking, but I do a lot of stuff on my iPod at home, and it'd be nice to have a bigger version. The interface is just better than a PC for some things. Watching videos or reading the news in bed would certainly be easier.

If you know about the whole jailbreak situation, then you'd already know Apple are assholes. They're definitely totalitarian when it comes to controlling the software that goes on the devices that you pay for. Long live the h4x0rz.

why not just buy the cheapest macbook and be done with it...?
omgwtfbbq etc... people are soooo fuxxin stupid!

people are soooo fuxxin stupid!

well, the internet is stupid, that's for sure. way too many people, able to speak english. globalization is terrible, if you can understand english..
:evillaugh:

as for the iPad, i don't have one, don't need one. yet i have absolutely no problem with it! ..it is designed for women & suits anyway. why is it that so many slobs are hating on it?

its most probably because we realize it will contaminate the net with even more stupidity and aggro than is already out there ...
the net is already 'twittered' enough without making it available to every braindead and cryptozombie who can slap its greasy paws on a screen to post...

So is that instead of an iPad just buy the cheapest macbook cause it's probably more powerful and better?

[colsanders]

Isn't all this fruitless hating doing exactly what you're moaning about? The eyesore punctuation only adds to the aggro too.

You mentioned in another thread how you don't like buying things anyway, so would you even be interested if it had turned out to be the best gadget of the century so far? I don't see why you're so disgruntled.

As for "just buy a MacBook", I'd go for a Windows 7 laptop every time, but it still wouldn't do some of the things the iPad does. From what I've heard the text display is awesome, and it's largely been marketed as an e-book reader. I have a big-ass HD monitor, but I'd much rather read news articles, books, manga, etc on an iPad. If I had plenty of disposable income, I'd probably buy one just for that, and I imagine most of the people buying it do have too much money to spend.

[Teddy]

^ It probably is.

It reminds me of this guy I know from work. When people complain he always says quit complaining, no whining all the time yet fails to see he is doing what he is against himself.

Humans seem to be in some ways a walking oxymoron or are ironic sometimes lol.

I don't have an iPad as of yet, but was considering one but who knows yet. I may wait for the 2nd gen versions, again, I don't know.

As for the text, I heard text on the iPad for some characters isn't that good and not implemented as well as Apple could/should have done it. That may have been fixed by now or those persons' nitpicks though.

well, DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...:evillaugh: just das 'ipad problems' , also a german company is coming out with their own version that looks to be way ahead of the curve compared to the ipad...
plus the rumored 7" pocket sized ipad because people are bitching about the size...

the really sad thing is to be in beastbuy and see all the grannies and gramps lining up to buy the bloody things cause their kids/grandkids have convinced them they are better than a $400.00 toshiba latop...:cry:
go to macrumors and see all the problems people are having...

i would wait for the HP and other tablets to come around before getting excited about an ipad...

i'm quite willing to bet some haxxor has already targeted the ipad to use as a way to launch viruses and trojans to the net...

[kawaiineko]

stop complaining about my 1,000,000 ipad beta testers....they are doing their job for me just fine :evillaugh:

insightful & Fox-News is a contradiction.

Do EuroTrash like yourself ever watch Fox News? Probably not.

:attention:

[Maetel1180Crp]

well, my dear boy. you pretty much underlined my point there.
so much hate, fear & misery.. what a fine place, the SLF news-board has become.

[Teddy]

:attention:

Were you just playing around, cause you two are friends here or were you trying to sound bigoted?

**EDIT**

Cause, he speaks in truth though.

The "news" in America is more like Hollywood and they're actors not reporters who investigate and report the truth. I mean they do speak some truth but there is a 30 or so second delay in transmission they can edit and cut out more than you think in that time I learn 100x more watching BBC news than I ever do any American "news" or by getting it online. It's more controlled than people think, it's just not real news, they read scripts.

I wonder if we could get Apple to put in a hidden device so when the keypad is hit on its 10,000th time, the User is self-electrocuted with 100,000 volts.

This could be our answer to this stupid people/overpopulation problem. But we still have a problem gettin' rid of all the bodies.

very good said, coz in the end, it's all about stealing horses together. getting shot by the sheriff, i'd love to have someone on my side, who knows Aki Hoshino too. ..pro Bill Maher or pro Glenn Beck, the reason why we all meet each other here, lays someone else.

but opposition to all them "baby-rape-killer-news" has to be excepted. for the sake of debate & different views. far away from anything personal. fox-news is merely a vessel. who knows, where "sankakucomplex" is from, maybe they are from ..sweden. it don't matter.

the iPad discussions for example, it could go so much deeper, than just a forum to express hate, for hate's sake.
like going back to the 1930s, reading what people like Paul Mazer had to say about modern consumerism:
"We must shift [western country of your choice. at least in 2010.] from a needs- to a desires-culture. People must be trained to desire, to want new things, even before the old have been entirely consumed. [...] Man's desires must overshadow his needs."
cheers' & all you need is love.

"We must shift [western country of your choice] from a needs- to a desires-culture. People must be trained to desire, to want new things, even before the old have been entirely consumed. [...] Man's desires must overshadow his needs."
uh, duuuuuuuh, i'd say we have achieved that and more....

[F2046]

Everything you love you owe to "consumerism." You are surrounded by its products, even the very computer you have used to hit "copy, paste, post." Go tell some poor North Korean farmer who spends every waking hour defined by the struggle for food, laboring with tools no more advanced than Biblical times, and who lives under a system defined by “need” that we in the West are defiled by our “consumerism.” Go tell an older person living in China, who lived through the mass starvation of a system based on “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” that modern China is made somehow evil because of its ample shopping malls, booming industry, and increasing bounty of products. You'll be lucky not to get spat on or worse.

Give me Steve Jobs and an army of free people who have put capital to work on behalf of economic innovations, offering me the various products of voluntary trade and human cooperation, like my beloved iPod--an entire library of music at my fingertips--over any parasitical institution clamoring about someone's "needs" and waving the guns of aggression at me any day. Good for Apple, sell a lot a iPads, even though it sounds like a feminine hygiene product.

"APad iRobot Wants to Clone/Destroy Apple iPad"

http://www.pmptoday.com/2010/05/02/apad-irobot-wants-to-clone-destroy-apple-ipad/

It’s a tablet that is the gadget equivalent of a cross between a nutty celebrity stalker and a nutty imitator like Octomom, The M003 Apad, a.k.a. iRobot, is a 7-inch, Android-running iPad clone that that go for $199.99 and is now available for shipping. The Apad supports Google Maps, HD video support and even an integrated integrated webcam. There’s only 2GB of built-in storage though SD cards are supported...

I like the APad better than the iPad :blush:

[Dyka]

If the iRobot has a touch pad that is as good then it probably IS as good as the iPad save for any technical problems it might have.

The thing that makes me wish I had an iPhone rather than an Eternity is the touch pad. And the language support.
