Apple [AAPL] has just announced that they have now sold over 3 million iPads in just 80 days, since the iPad went on sale in the US, and the 3 millionth iPad was sold yesterday.
This is great news for Apple, who announced on the 4th of June that they had sold their two millionth iPad, that means they have sold one Million iPads in the last 18 days.
There were a lot of people who said that the iPad wouldn’t be a success when Apple released it back in April, but Apple has proved them wrong with these impressive sales figures.
If Apple keeps these sales numbers up, they should be able to sell over 10 Million iPads by the end of the year, which would be very impressive for the first year of a new product.
