Over a million Apple iPad tablets sold

Today, May 3, 2010, Apple has officially announced that last Friday, just 28 days after the start of sales, sales of iPad tablets reached 1 million. At the same time, iPad owners downloaded 1.5 million e-books from the new iBookstore bookstore and 12 million applications. Steve Jobs further emphasized that the iPad has taken this milestone in sales more than twice as fast as the first generation iPhone, which took 74 days to do.



At the same time, it was also emphasized that the demand for the iPad still exceeds supply because of what the official start of sales of the device outside the US was postponed earlier. Also recall that sales of the 3G version of the iPad officially began just a few days ago - on April 30.

PS: Against this background, it is interesting to look at the reports that projects for the release of products such as HP Slate and Microsoft Courier were closed - I would like to hear the opinions of the habra people on this issue.
