Apple iPad sales crossed 2 Million in U.S.

Washington - June 2nd, 2010: Analysts has predicted that the sale of iPad will reach 1.5 million units in the quarter ending in June. Now, the figures released by Apple shows that the company has sold 2 million iPads since its launch in U.S. on April 3.

The company released the figures three days after its entry into the mass market - Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.

To put the sales figures in perspective, the iPad reached sales of two million units in just two months, whereas the first version of the iPhone sold only a million units in the same time frame.

The iPad is yet to match the sales of the iPhone 3G, which sold three million units in its first month.

Apple, which recently launched the iBookstore in the UK, also claimed that the iPad's success exceeds that of any of the Mac and desktop products recently launched.
