Apple hasn’t done a whole lot since launching the iPhone in terms of mass market success. However, where the Macbook Air failed, the Apple iPad is succeeding. It’s only taken a month, and already there are 1 million iPads in the hands of consumers. Actually, less than a month. It’s only taken 28 days to move a million iPads!
Staggering, isn’t it?
When the iPhone was released, it took 74 days for it to sell a million. In nearly a third of that time, Apple has moved that many iPads. It’s got to be one of the most successful product launches in history. Not technology history, not Apple’s history, I mean history history.
People are going crazy over the iPad. Even if they don’t know why they want it, they’ll tear your hand off to get it. In spite of its flaws, Apple has turned the niche tablet computer market into yet another bonanza and have somehow managed to become the innovators of tablet computing some 10 years after the first tablets entered the market. Leave it to Apple to sell an underpowered netbook for huge profits.
Man, I wish I had some Apple stock right now.
