Steve Jobs announced that on Friday Apple sold the 1 millionth iPad. That is 1,000,000 units in 28 days, outselling the original iPhone in the same time period. Not bad for a product that no one actually thought would sell. A lot of pundits actually thought it would be Apple’s next Cube or Newton.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the company reached the milestone mark in less than half the time it took the original iPhone (it took 74 days for the original iPhone).
Steve Jobs said, “Demand continues to exceed supply, and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.”
Approximately 300,000 of the sold iPads are the new 3G model that went on sale last week. Apple shares rose 1.3 per cent on May 3rd (Australian time), I assume that the shareholders are very happy at the moment. Industry analysts predict that Apple will sell 5 million iPads this year.
The iPad gets released in Australia at the end of May and the local price will be announced on May 10th.
