3 million iPads sold in 80 days…
No wonder they are cutting prices on eBook readers like the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook. The Apple iPad went on sale 80 days ago. Apple sold 2 milllion iPads during the first 60 days that the device was available. And that pace would seem to be increasing as Apple just announced that they sold another million units during the last 20 days as the product became available outside the US.
The iPad is a tablet computer so it is much more than just an eBook reader. But apparently some iPad buyers are experiencing some frustrations. The iPad is an Apple product but Apple cannot control every aspect of customer service issues. To learn more about the exasperations some customers are describing click HERE:

Apple has, historically, had ‘bug’ problems with its phones, computers, and, of course, this new thing which has more limitations than a small laptop. But, Apple relies on ‘what’s in’ in the latest of geekware and it’s now becoming an annual release of new versions of previous releases that makes Apple appear to be a maker of its own obsolescence with a like minded, consumer following. When one thinks about it, 3-million units which are ready being planned by Apple to make ‘old’ isn’t that many compared to ‘netbook’ sales; a compact laptop which does more than iPads, and, cheaper in many cases. As with its introduction of the iPod, Apple’s customer service - and the bugs, bugs, bugs - has proven its inability to accomodate customers due to Apple believing its products to be more than beta versions due to an ill-advised marketing strategy to get the products on retailers’ shelves.

…not to me. I might get one after I buy my first cell phone. The only I-thing that I have is me, you see.
