∞ Apple sells another million iPads

Written by

If anyone is wondering if the demand for iPads is slowing down, it appears not – Apple announced Monday that it has sold two million iPads in less than 60 days. This announcement comes less than a month after Apple announced that it had sold its first million iPads.

The iPad went on sale in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland this past weekend, and Apple will begin selling the device in nine more countries in July. Other countries will follow suit later this year.

The iPad first went on sale in the United States on Saturday, April 3. The company announced that 300,000 iPads were sold during the first 24 hours of availability.

The news comes one week before Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco, where iPhone OS development will be the focus.

    Yep, Enderle was right, and well as Thurrott. The iPad was a non-starter. :-P

    How do these dorks stay employed?

    Apparently you read their articles… otherwise you wouldn't know they said that.

    28 million more to go before matching the number of netbooks sold in 2009.

      Yet already the iPad has probably earned more profit than the entire 30 million netbooks.

        no problem for the usual affluent Apple crowd to blow their money on the latest iTrinket, oil companies and Wall Street always give out big bonuses

    I read sites like this that read those articles for me so I don't have to. :)

    hmm, and from what I understand, both the first shipment and the current ones are sold out all over. What about the possibility that sales might have been **2** million units PER MONTH if there had been more inventory?
