Apple Sold 300,000 iPads on Day One.

Apple said Monday that it sold more than 300,000 iPads on Saturday, the day the product was  released across the country.
“It feels great to have the iPad launched into the world — it’s going to be a game changer,” said Steven P. Jobs, chief executive of Apple, in a statement. “iPad users, on average, downloaded more than three apps and close to one book within hours of unpacking their new iPad.”
The figure includes iPads that were pre-ordered and delivered to customers on Saturday as well as sales in Apple’s retail stores. By comparison, Apple sold 270,000 first-generation iPhones when the device went on sale in 2007.
In addition, iPad owners were hungry for apps and downloaded plenty over the weekend: Apple said that on Saturday, iPad owners downloaded more than a million applications from its app store and more than 250,000 electronic books.
Currently, Apple is only selling iPads that connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi. The company plans to sell costlier iPads with cellular data connections later this month.
