3 million iPads sold – good news for Apple ahead of iPhone 4 launch
By Florin on 22 Jun 10Just two days before the official launch of the new iPhone 4, Apple has announced that it sold its 3 millionth iPad – less than three months after the tablet hit the market.
At the moment, the iPad is available only in few markets around the world, including the US (obviously), Canada, Australia, Japan, the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain.
The App Store now hosts more than 11,000 applications especially developed for the iPad. Of course, the tablet can also run most of the 225,000 apps that are available for iPhone.
Starting July, Apple plans to introduce the iPad in nine more countries around the world. Maybe we’ll see a CDMA version for Verizon by then, too – although this will likely happen in the first quarter of the year, rather than this summer (or it might not happen at all).
Will the tablets that Samsung and Nokia are preparing be as successful as the iPad? Let’s wait and find out.
