300k iPads sold day 1
 

That is $1.5 billion in revenue. Could be a lot more depending on what model customer's bought.

does that include preorder online? or just retail storefront?

includes pre-orders.

i'd assume that number will grow steadily as people wait for the hype to die down and they can actually get them at the store without waiting in amusement park ride like lines like saturdays lines.

damn!!!!

Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore raised his earnings forecast and price target for Apple stock. Whitmore, whose firm has done non-investment banking work for Apple in the last year, now expects Apple's stock to hit $325 a share, up from a previous target of $250.

Sales totals for the weekend are expected to be in the 600k-700k range which will beat all estimates and predictions.

Hype is a wonderful thing for Apple these days.

thats great sale.

my stock is through the roof! i LOVE APPLE!!!

Iphones dont show all flash. Is that the same with Ipad?

math fail

I love my stock and the products

Who are the idiots buying this thing and what are they planning to do with it?

Look cool at Starbucks while sipping a latte.

So they cost $5k apiece?

good day:)


Mr. Romance

Sometime during the week, just take a peek into any Starbucks, and you'll see many of those 300,000 jizzbags playing with what looks like Bigfoot's iPhone.

just one 0 off :P

I think the uptake of something like this will be a hell of a lot more: http://gizmodo.com/5365299/courier-f...-secret-tablet

Is it jailbroken yet?? I'd like to install my own apps on it like on the iPhone
also anyway to get it to connect to the Internet without wifi?

Yep, I bought one of those 300k on the first day :thumbsup

I checked it out at Bestbuy, was impressed but waiting to see when I can tether it to my iphone so I have 3g on it.

Would really be nice to have Flash or OSX on it though.

good for them

fuckers!!!

Indeed :)

Now why would anyone want something useful like that when the clear fanboy choice is the iPad? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

At the risk of offending any Mac fanbois...including 3xTom, who I have lovingly christened a McSnob...

I don't get the appeal of these. Without a doubt, they look cool, but from a practical application standpoint, I am not sure why anyone would want one.

Their new advertising campaign for the iPads is pretty sharp but is what you see in those ads the same performance you are seeing with the real thing?

omg, i can't stop laughing

Funny how we only see "release day with all pre-orders" numbers...

What do sales look like now?

A billion $ is not what it used to be, now it's worth $100M. WTF.

Apple's iPad is going to make Amazon's Kindle look like a tool from the stone age.

people are such gullible sheep.

Whatever apples comes out with, it turns to gold

Kindle is still a better e-reader, much easier on the eyes for extended reading, which is it's purpose. But the iPad is still a superior iPod.

wtf :1orglaugh
