Apple today announced that iPad sales have topped two million in less than 60 days since its launch on April 3. Apple began shipping iPad in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK this past weekend. iPad will be available in nine more countries in July and additional countries later this year.
“Customers around the world are experiencing the magic of iPad, and seem to be loving it as much as we do,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, in the press release. “We appreciate their patience, and are working hard to build enough iPads for everyone.”
iPad allows users to connect with their apps, content and the Internet in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before. Users can browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more, all using iPad’s revolutionary Multi-Touch™ user interface. iPad is 0.5 inches thin and weighs just 1.5 pounds—thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook—and delivers up to 10 hours of battery life.
Developers have created over 5,000 exciting new apps for iPad that take advantage of its Multi-Touch user interface, large screen and high-quality graphics. iPad will run almost all of the more than 200,000 apps on the App Store, including apps already purchased for your iPhone or iPod touch.

MacDailyNews Note: Today is Memorial Day in the United States of America and we will be spending the day with friends and family. We will resume posting tomorrow morning as usual. Thank you for visiting!
You’re welcome, Roberto.
Memorial Day and Veterans Day are officially once a year but should also be remembered every day of the year. Semper fidelis.
I’m a veteran of both the US Army (enlisted) and the US Navy (officer). Like others, I am proud of my service and believe so many others today have missed the growth, perspective-building, experience, camaraderie, and pride that a well-lived time in the military provides. I believe our country is somewhat weaker as a result.
I have to say that I will have trouble remembering as many heartfelt comments aimed at those who lost their lives for the rest of us, as I find here on a forum not always known for such prosaic thoughts and words. I grateful to those who have left such thoughts and feelings and who have remembered specific people who have had a lifelong meaning to them.
As others have expressed, I am also disgusted by people like WhatsHappened and Derek in Milan who have no understanding of the meaning of life and sacrifice. It is true that I also fought for those with whom I disagree. But it is also true that I fought for my own right to vocally call oppose them for their disrespect, ignorance, arrogance, and mean-spiritedness. WhatsHappened has clearly chosen to take words from the Christian Bible out of context to suit his own attack on those who sacrificed themselves. He has ignored other parts of that same book and the overall framework of faith and obedience to God. He insults those soldiers who have always had, and continue to have, a deep reverence for and faith in God. I may have served so he can utter those words, but I choose not to stand in the same airspace as he occupies. There are so many others here with whom I would proudly stand.
I rarely feel honored on either Memorial Day or Veterans Day which have become shopping days for everyone instead of what it should have been. For an unusual moment here, I myself felt honored to read so may of these comments.
I thank all of those for their comments and remembrances.
I have flown the flag for each of the past four days and will continue to do so.
Thanks for sharing this article…..
