Reuters Breakingviews writes, “How well the touch-screen gadget is really doing will become clear later this month when Apple reports its next set of quarterly results. But there are growing signs the company is selling way more of them than anyone outside Apple, or maybe even among Steve Jobs’ inner circle, had been anticipating.”
“But the volume of iPad sales means there will be more victims,” Reuters Breakingviews writes. “Early adopters of new consumer electronics typically have plenty of disposable income or spend a lot on gizmos, or both. The iPad is showing signs of extending beyond this base. It looks on track to become the fastest adopted consumer good ever. And that’s really saying something considering the competition includes the ubiquitous DVD player, and Apple’s own hyper-popular iPod and iPhone.”

MacDailyNews Take: Bloodbath.™
First 2010, then 2012, ya had to bring off-topic into the discussion, didn’t you? Good luck with all your hating candidates, your candidates who want to move more jobs off shore, your candidates who want to enrich the rich and impoverish everyone else. It is because of them, their policies and their greed that “There’s always a bloodbath going on somewhere or another”.
When you die, you’d better hope there’s no H3ll there to greet you … Christ (et al) sure won’t let folk like you into Heaven! OTOH, you’ll find lots of company there.
Typical news MSM point of view, if someone is successful, there is always a “victim” to someone’s success. This does not have to be the case, but that’s how its portrayed.

Re: iPad glare.
I got an Anti-Glare Film for my wife’s iPad (from powersupportusa.com, $25) and that eliminated the glare problem, but the bonus was that it also did away with most of the fingerprints left behind. And with a 4-year old who uses the thing every chance she gets, that’s saying a lot. The film sticks to the screen without any adhesive so it can peel right off without leaving anything behind. Almost magical.

Jesus said…”I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. Noone comes to the Father except thru me.” It’s either the truth or the biggest lie ever stated. I believe it’s the truth.
Works and idealogy just plain ain’t gonna get anyone into heaven…only by his grace and by believing in him are we gifted to get into heaven. Hell is crammed full of good moral people.

@first 2010, then 2012
Let me get this right…if someone doesn’t think as you do, then they’re obviously a Liberal–is that correct?
Now, your party on the 2nd and 3rd of November, is it to celebrate the reincarnation of the same political losers that got us into this economic disaster–is that correct too?
Finally, are you an Apple fan boy ’cause I always thought that Apple’s raison d’etre was to provide people with ‘products’ that could make our lives better, more fun, and not to repackage the same old tired crap–but that doesn’t sound like you at all.
I’ll bring the Velveeta.

Is Anti-Glare the same as Matte Screen Cover or is it “you say tomaaato and I say tomAto”
Other than outside sunlight, I love my iPad!

@Wingsy…. BINGO!
The better anti-glare film is from Power Support. I liked it so much on my iPad, I got one for my iPod touch!

@boat, you were clearly in the wrong line when brains were issued.

And I guess I could copy and paste your reply in response to the other’s post.
“if someone doesn’t think as you do, then they’re obviously ‘Teabaggers’–is that correct?”
Are you celebrating the reincarnation of the same political losers that have expanded this economic disaster with union payouts and back room debts paid off at the expense of the taxpayer’s money, to be called a Stimulus Package that has failed miserably?! And a ever intrusion of government into every aspect of our lives from Obamacare Health Care to keeping GM Union pensions in tact, whereby Investors and Bond Holders were left with just the shirt on their back…?! Is that correct? Seems like the same old Liberal, Progressive or whatever the hell they call themselves Playbook they dusted off and found bookmarked place they left off the last time they had the ability to pull this crap!
I’ll bring two bag of chips… Lord knows, some here expect others to spread the wealth!

If they Sell 40 Million iPads, would those count as computers? If they do, the iPads would propel to the number one computer seller in the world.

@ everyone but “First 2010, then 2012”
Please don’t feed the trolls, whether the political or Windows variety. It only prolongs their postings and encourages them to spew more excrement. The proper response is to ignore, but pity them.

R53,
The seeds of the “economic disaster” were planted during the Clinton Administration. God knows what Bill was doing, but one can certainly imagine.
Go do your homework.

The ipad resembles the human condition if you can make the analogy, if humans can simply think things through about whats right and wrong, THEN proceed with that knowledge, it doesn’t matter what others results were,
YOU CAN SUCCEED.
Instead, too many of us give up, try to get lucky, or do exactly what someone totally different does, expecting their results.
APPLE = THE GREATEST AMERICAN COMPANY EVER!
