Apple has revealed that they have sold 300,000 iPads on launch day, counting all the pre-order deliveries and sales from Apple Stores, Best Buy and other selected retailers. Compared to the original iPhone, which sold 270,000 units in the first 30 hours, some may say that the iPad did pretty well for its first day, considering the 3G version is yet to be released and this was only the US launch.
Apple also announced that iPad owners has downloaded one million apps from the App Store and 250,000 ebooks from the iBookstore. That would come out to as Steve noted:
“It feels great to have the iPad launched into the world — it’s going to be a game changer,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “iPad users, on average, downloaded more than three apps and close to one book within hours of unpacking their new iPad.”
