We can surf the Internet, share photos, listen to music, watch HD videos, read and send email, read eBooks and even indulge in loads of fun games, having Wi-Fi connectivity. All this can be easily carried out through the iPad’s revolutionary multi-touch user interface. Highly portable in nature, the pad weighs only 1.5 pounds and measures 0.5 inches thin while providing us up to 10 hours of battery life.

Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO stated, “One million iPads in 28 days—that’s less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone. Demand continues to exceed supply and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.” Proof for this lies in one of the Apple announcements which stated that more than one million apps were downloaded from the App Store and over 2,50,000 eBooks from the iBookstore on April 3, 2010, i.e., on the day of release and over 3,00,000 iPad units were sold in the U.S. by midnight. The sales figures comprise of deliveries made to those who pre-ordered the iPad, sales at Apple Retail Stores and deliveries to channel partners.

Loads of designers have formed more than 5,000 new apps specifically for the iPad. This surplus offering looks impressive on the vibrant large screen and high-quality graphics. It is also compatible with over 200,000 apps on the App Store. The company announced officially that, iPad is going to make presence in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK, on May-28 2010. Now there is no need to rely on gifts, imports from friend’s state side. The iPad can be pre- ordered from Apple’s online store from May-10 for the above-mentioned countries. Let’s wait and see what blast iPad is going to make in the above mentioned markets.
