It is Estimated that Half a Million iPads Could Have Been Sold for Launch Weekend.
Despite reservations about the iPad's lack of flash and multitasking capability from many in the tech community it appears the iPad is and will be immensely popular. Apple reports sales numbers of 300,000 units for Saturday alone, but has not released sales numbers for Sunday. Gene Munster, an Apple analyst for Piper Jaffray, believes sales did not slow significantly for Sunday and possibly 600,000 units were sold over the entire weekend. If this is true it would make sales numbers for the iPad launch significantly higher than the figures for the launch of the iPhone. While there were some reports of stores not having enough iPads most stores had plenty. Apple seems to have provided enough stock to feed the thronging hordes of Apple fans.

and i though the average persons technically knowledge was low enough..., guess not.
That changes my mind a bit, especially since they might actually make them. Still prices will have to come down, and things such as multi tasking need to be worked out. Anyways, I expect many, many copies of this thing from other manufacturers.
It's way too bulky for a phone.
Yet way too small for a pc, even a netbook would be better?

And, I would like it if it was like an ultra light Macbook, but it's not. Apple's products are usually solid, even if they come with a premium price, but this is just .. not what I expected.
I love the whole feel of it, and its a great device and there is nothing else out like it ATM.
With some firmware mods, and that 1Ghz processor in there, that ipad will be epic :D
But all of the desktops and laptops I saw over at the store, i don't like them at all and i'm happy with my PC For lIFe!
