2 million iPads sold in just 60 days…
Last week Apple surpassed Microsoft as the technology company with the highest monetary valuation. Apple keeps putting out hot consumer products, iPods, iPhones, and now the iPad.
Apple just released their sales numbers for the first 2 months of iPad sales: 2 million. Wow. This looks like yet another huge hit for Apple. When was the last time Microsoft had a hit product? I can’t recall?
Over at Amazon the crunching of these iPad numbers must be putting a bit of a crimp in any sales projections for their Amazon Kindle eBook reader. The iPad and the Kindle are competing platforms for electonic book readership. Imagine the collective gasps over in the Seattle region where both Amazon and Microsoft have their headquarters. 2 million iPads…gasp!

It doesn’t do everything - it doesn’t do Flash and it doesn’t have expandable memory.

iPad is great…kindle sucks….the iPad does everything…kindle just reads books in black and white….no touch screen for the kindle either. I can watch movies via netflix on my iPad, surf the Internet anytime anywhere. Full color touch screen. Wow this is nice. Get the 64 gb 3G version if u buy one

Windows 7 is pretty nice…. but the thing that drives the Apple price is their store’s potential - not their shiny toys. I think Amazon will be able to give them a run for the money.
