“The team at Investor Village’s AAPL Sanity board have completed their initial analysis of pre-orders for the iPad tablet computer,” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune. “Apple began taking orders on Friday for delivery starting April 3.”
Based on a sampling of 48 orders (for 54 iPads), and not counting units that were reserved but not ordered, the Sanity team estimates:
• Nearly 120,000 iPads sold
• Wi-Fi-only models (avail. Apr. 3) outpaced Wi-Fi + 3G (avila. “late April”) orders 69% to 31%, respectively.
• Storage capacity breakdown: 16GB – 40%, 32GB – 28%, 64GB – 33%
Elmer-DeWitt reports, “Estimates of the number of iPads Apple will have manufactured by April range from a high of 1 million to a low of 300,000.”
