Apple Sells 3 Million iPads in 80 Days

by Michael Suen | 12:38 pm, June 22nd

Jeepers! This just in: An Apple press release states the company sold its three millionth iPad yesterday, just 80 days after its launch. To put this statistic in perspective, Amazon took two years to sell the same amount of Kindle units.

Analysts are going home with their tail between their legs. Most predicted much less optimistic sales numbers; Morgan Stanley‘s Katy Huberty, for example, believed 3 million units would only sell after a full quarter.

According to Business Insider, if the average sales price of an iPad and accessories was $650, this would mean that Apple just raked in $1.95 billion in revenue. Whaaaaat.

Wait, no. 600,000-700,000 iPads.

First Day iPad Preorder Sales: 20,000 iPads an Hour?

by Susana Polo | 5:56 pm, March 12th

The iPad has been on sale for almost ten hours, which means it’s high time we had some mildly made up preorder sales numbers around here.

Andrew Erlichson, the CEO of Phanfare, a photosharing website, has an estimate.

We just bought two iPads, about 30 minutes apart. Our order IDs are 10,000 apart. Assuming those order IDs are sequential, and they appear to be, then Apple is selling 20,000 iPads per hour:
