The level of demand in the U.S. alone, where the iPad launched on April 3, forced Apple to announce it would delay the tablet's international release by a month, until late May.

 

 

 

 

Apple said on Monday it sold one million of its freshly launched iPad tablet computers in just 28 days.

The millionth iPad was sold on Friday, the Cupertino, California, based firm said. “One million iPads in 28 days — that's less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with (the) iPhone,” Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a statement.

The level of demand in the U.S. alone, where the iPad launched on April 3, forced Apple to announce it would delay the tablet's international release by a month, until late May.

A second version of the iPad, featuring both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, went on sale in the United States on Friday. The much—heralded tablet allows users to watch video, listen to music, play games, surf the Web or read electronic books.— AFP
