Da venerdì a domenica sera infatti, sono già statu venduti 3 milioni di iPad. Sara' interessante vedere, da venerdì 23 marzo, data in Cui aprono le vendite negli altri 25 paesi, come si evolverà questo record, con il quale la Apple sta dimostrando a tutto il mondo che se c'e qualcuno in grado di battere la Apple. E' la Apple stessa.
