A rough three-day estimate, based on an analysis of order numbers: 152,000 units
After the initial burst of excitement on Friday that saw iPad pre-orders coming in at the rate of 25,000 per hour, there was a dramatic fall-off over the weekend.
According to Daniel Tello, the Venezuelan blogger-analyst who has been tracking order numbers submitted by volunteers at Investor Village’s AAPL Sanity board, orders on Saturday and Sunday slowed to an estimated 1,000 per hour.
Apple’s iPad was launched in the market shortly. It created enthusiasm amongst the Apple product users, who were waiting for this tablet computing device. in different memory configurations such as 16, 32 and 64 GB, it comes in 3G and Wi-Fi models as well. Featuring speakers, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, microphone, this light-weighted iPad is very easy to use. It supports Bluetooth keyboards and is best for emailing and watching videos. Loaded with Apple processor, namely A4 chip, this tablet computer allows you to enjoy about 140,000 applications. in a relatively cheaper price, this 9.7 inches iPad has all the features that present day mobile phones, digital camera and laptops have. you can capture and edit your videos, read e-books and try different iPhone applications on this tablet computer. Its multi-touch and attractive screen can facilitate clear visibility and allow you to select your favorite tunes through drop down menu. Not only that, Apple iPad’s display screen is Arsenic-free, BFR-free, Mercury-free and PVC-free.
Say the words “tablet computer” and ten bucks says it’s Apple’s iPad that springs to mind. but that doesn’t mean other companies aren’t busy building their own version of a touch-enabled, multimedia-sporting, slab of portable computing goodness.
Dell’s first effort at a tablet will be the Mini 5 (a name that is still in beta) — a slice of plastic and glass with a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen that according to Michael Dell will debut “in a couple of months.”

NEW YORK — Apple brings out its iPad tablet computer in late March, but other companies are already preparing a new batch of tablets running Windows. Judging by a model that’s already out, the $550 Archos 9, the Windows tablets have a rough road ahead.
Windows just doesn’t seem at home when squeezed into this 1.8-pound slab, with a touch-sensitive screen that is 8.9 inches on the diagonal. It’s sluggish, and the controls aren’t adapted to the size of the screen or the fact that there’s no real keyboard or mouse.

First off, it’s really just a gigantic iPod touch. It’s good for all of the things you can already do on the touch, like listen to music, look at pictures, and run a few, weird iPhone apps. The flashlight app should be really entertaining on the iPad, right?
According to a reliable source Apple will be starting the presale of the iPad as soon as February 25th. Presale will be US only, and should be limited to the Wi-Fi version for now. if Apple holds to the announced schedule, you should then receive your iPad within approximately 30 days.
The iBook store, the marketplace for electronic books on Apple’s forthcoming iPad, will sell e-books wrapped in digital rights management software, according to sources quoted in the L.A. Times. Apple phased out DRM songs from the iTunes store a year ago, but a majority of publishers are expected to use FairPlay copy protection software for their e-books.
In these tough times, with so many people struggling, I don’t see the iPad or any other new gadget doing very well. 2010 will be a year to hope things turn around and what this means is more sluggish economy and more people cutting back on their luxuries, such as the new phone you’ve been wanting to get, or that new laptop. so with this being the case, you can surely bet that Apple will drop the price of the iPad as soon as it doesn’t sell, which I bet it won’t. this article below is from Business Week and breaks down the actual cost of the iPad, showing that there’s plenty of room to lower the price. Just wait it out everyone and you’ll save yourself a bunch of doe, cashola, mulla, greenbacks..
It is not a new story that the iPad is aiming to revolutionize the Tablet computer arena, but will it rock the fashion industry as well? as the story with the iPhone and its many accessories, fashion items, addons, etc, so is the case with the upcoming iPad, which has already presented potential accessories and now even a new fashion clothing line.
