    Default 700,000 iPads bought on day one

    700,000 iPads bought on day one

    Apple did not provide details of opening-day sales. But Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, who had predicted as many as 300,000 iPads would be sold this weekend, dramatically revised his numbers upward Saturday to between 600,000 and 700,000 units purchased just on the first day.

    That contrasts with 270,000 iPhones sold during its initial launch. Apple plans to offer six variants of the iPad, starting with the three Wi-Fi models available now: a 16GB model ($499), a 32GB model ($599), and 64GB model ($699). In late April, Apple will ship three additional models that tack on 3G capability, for an extra $130 each. The 3G models will also have a GPS chip inside.

    I think actually closer to 400,000 were sold on the first day, which is good nonetheless and exceed day one sales of the Iphone.

    The final number is 300,000. 300k iPads sold in the US (including pre-orders) on Saturday April 4. In comparison, the iPhone (Original) sold 270,000.

    People just dont realize that like netbooks the Ipad is a niche.

    The Ipad is seemingly flying off the shelves and I think it will perform well worldwide.

    Frankly I am not an Apple fan I currently own no apple products. However, I can see myself reading an ebook on an Ipad like device. Larger screen etc and watching a few videos on a handheld large screen that I can easily rest/slant against my bedroom wall.

    With a laptop its just a bit more awkward and why would I want my laptop on just to read an ebook in the dead of night.
