Apple Sells 1 Million iPads

By Peter Ha | May 3, 2010 | +

In just 28 days, Apple has sold over 1 million iPads. It took 74 days for Apple to sell the miniature version known as the iPhone. “Demand continues to exceed supply and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers,” said Steve Jobs. 12 million apps and 1.5 million ebooks have been downloaded by iPad users since its April 3 launch.

I tried picking up an iPad over the weekend and all Apple stores in Manhattan were sold out, so I guess demand is strong. But how well will it sell next month or the month after in the US?

Review: Soulo Converts iPad into Karaoke Machine

Karaoke lovers typically fall into two categories: Those who enjoy it, and those whose arms have to be twisted to get up and sing in public. Enter Soulo, a software and microphone kit that can turn an iPad or other Apple device into a karaoke machine. It gives you instant karaoke in the privacy of your own home, or wherever you carry your Apple gadgets. That’s the idea, anyway.

Why do they continue to use the term magical? People laughed when Jobs first said it, but then they kept sticking it everywhere else. And Jobs has to use the word in every interview? I want one of these a lot, and I love Apple products, but it’s effing annoying.
