As if this were news, but according to CNN.com and Mashable, the Apple iPad sold over 90,000 iPads in the first six hours that they were available for pre-order.
On Friday, the first day that buyers could pre-order the device (it arrives in stores next month), Apple racked up an estimated 91,000 sales in just the first six hours of availability, putting temporarily to rest the Internet’s persistent “iPad fail” meme. Analysts predict the first-year sales could reach 5 million.
According to Appleinsider.com, “As preorders began Friday, Apple also fleshed out the official iPad section of its Web site, adding greater detail on the iBooks application, 3G data subscriptions with AT&T, and more.”
As before, all of the built-in applications on the iPad have their own page describing their function. Apple also has special dedicated pages for the iBooks application, which must be downloaded from the App Store, as well as the $9.99 Keynote, Pages and Numbers software.
A page devoted to 3G access on the iPad describes how users can start and cancel a no-contract data plan with AT&T direct from the device at any time. As was revealed at the product’s unveiling, the data plans run $15 per month for 250MB of data, or $30 per month for unlimited access.
However, not everyone is a convert, yet.
“I was all set to buy one this morning, but I guess cold feet set in overnight,” read a post on TUAW.com (The Unofficial Apple Weblog). “I’ve decided to wait a while, maybe for the 2nd generation. Now I just have to see if I can hold out for the next gen iPhone. . . . Sometimes I think I should be going to gadgeholics anonymous meetings.”
What really bothered me was reading that Jesse James said the marriage was a sham in order to justify his cheating to one of his other “women”.
