The sales of the Apple iPad are far from slowing down. With three million units sold since the tablet’s launch just 80 days ago. The first million was reached in 28 days and the second million was sold in “less than 60 days”. That means that the third million has been shifted ten days ahead of schedule.
The cynical might argue that this is more of a drop in speed, and that by opening up the iPad to the worldwide market a couple weeks back Apple should have sold a lot more. The cynic would probably be right, but the problem for Apple is that people don’t want them: it’s that it can’t make enough of the things to satisfy demand.
This news comes just days behind the announcement that Apple managed to pre=sell a mind-blowing 600,000 iPhone4’s in a single day. One thing is for sure: regular, non-geek people like Apple’s mobile machines, and they’re voting with their pocketbooks.
