iPad Popularity Exceeds Expectations

While there never seemed to be any doubt that Apple’s long-awaited iPad would be a success, even the veteran computer manufacturer seems to have been take off-guard by the demand.

Apple has announced that, as of last Friday, one million iPads had been sold as well as 12 million apps. From The Independent:

“One million iPads in 28 days -- that’s less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone,” said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. “Demand continues to exceed supply and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.”
