Apple beats its own record it set with the iPhone
Estimate beats iPhone on its release date
Apple announced today that they have sold over 1 million iPads, the revolutionary slate device that runs the iPhone OS. Much of that is to retailers and pre-orders, but it is an accomplishment nonetheless.
Who is buying?
Though the economy is improving its hard to imagine that a mobile device that is not a phone or a laptop, but something in between could be so popular. So who is buying it? Besides early adopters and Mac fans, students and baby boomers are likely candidates. Students find the device useful in class and older generations find its ease of use and lack of maintenance exactly what they want in a computer.
eBook Reader Capability
While the iPad is a slate computer, it’s also features eBook reading software, which essentially also makes it an eReader. For a comparison with Barne’s and Noble’s nook e-Reader, compare the Nook vs. iPad. For eReader accessories for the iPad, Kindle, Nook, or Alex eReader, visit eAccessories.
