iPad - Two Million Sold in Two Months

From PC Magazine's David Murphy:

Well, that didn't take long. Apple has announced that the company has sold its two-millionth iPad, bolstered in part by the launch of the handheld device in Asia and Europe this past Friday.

And the Apple train isn't slowing down in that regard: The company plans to launch the iPad in nine more countries come July, with even more countries scheduled out as the year rolls on.

Just to put this into perspective, Apple began selling the iPad in the United States on April 3 of this year. By May 3--just 28 days after the device's release--the company was already touting that it had reached its one millionth sale. As we reported back then, it took the company's first iPhone a (seemingly) whopping 74 days to reach that plateau.
