Apple Reaches iPad Milestone: One Million Sold
"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."
Apple offered no indication in its press release of sales of Wi-Fi + 3G iPad models, which went on sale in the U.S. last Friday.Apple previously announced that it had sold 300,000 iPads on the first day of sales of Wi-Fi-only models. Less than a week after that launch, Jobs noted at the company's iPhone OS 4 media event that it had passed 450,000 in iPad sales.
Tracking site Chikita estimated last week that Apple had sold its one millionth iPad even before the 3G-capable models went on sale.

and just wait till the rest of the world gets the opportunity to have them at their local Apple Reseller Store. I have a waiting list in my store with pre-paid iPads and we don't even have a date yet!

I'm getting my Mom the Wi-Fi iPad for her birthday (other family members are helping out) and I'm buying the 3G one to go back to school (Maybe for my birthday!):cool:
You have to go play with one of these before you judge. It's really quite slick and responsive. It makes even more sense if you only have a desktop. Can't see getting one if you have a laptop and a smart phone. Unless you replace the smart phone with it.:D
On a side note, I was really impressed with the MacBook Air as well. It's definitely too expensive and not very powerful, but it looks and feels amazing. The weight is really evenly distributed throughout the casing, so that it feels even lighter than its estimated 3lbs.:)
