Apple's iPad is out for sales and as expected breaking the sales estimates, a record sale of over 700,000 pieces by Saturday afternoon, doubling the earlier estimates of Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster as around 300,000 iPads.
That’s a mighty big jump - but it makes sense. The iPad hype machine was in full force leading up to the actual release of the device. For months, there was speculation about what Apple’s newest device category might be. And then, following the official announcement, there was a waiting period that allowed the marketing machine to build up to this past weekend’s actual release. And we’ve seen before that economic conditions don’t really come into play when it comes to Apple’s latest and greatest.
Now, what I'm waiting is for an opportunity of getting hold of this magical device, as Jony Ive, SVP Design at Appl has put it: when something exceed your ability to understand how it works., it sort of become magical.
