Paralels: Eases the Pain of Switching or Upgrading Your PC – Good Housekeeping
“Bernstein Research retail analyst Colin McGranahan created a bit of a stir Monday when he told CNBC John Malloy that the iPad’s adoption rate out of the starting gate was the “fastest ever” — having surpassed both the original iPhone in 2007 and the DVD player in 1997.
McGranahan’s claim is based on his estimate that Apple sold 4.5 million iPads in the quarter that just ended — an estimate that might seem high but is actually below average for the analysts who track Apple (AAPL).
So how many iPads has Apple sold so far? The consensus is roughly 8.25 million units.”
Just to put it in perspective, imagine every single person within the city limits of New York City using an iPad, and you’ll have an idea of how many iPads that is. That’s a lot of Angry Birds.
