Apple has announced that its third generation iPad has sold a solid 3 million units after being on the market for just a few days, making it the fastest selling tablet in history.
“The new iPad is a blockbuster with three million sold – the strongest iPad launch yet,” worldwide marketing senior vice president Philip Schiller said in a statement.
“We can’t wait to get it into the hands of even more customers around the world this Friday.”
The new iPad costs anywhere from $499 for a 16GB WiFi version to $829 for a 64GB 3G model.

it’s also the most over priced, dissapointing, fanboy defining piece of crap.
I heard folks are having problems with it, Lingling.
@Ernice Gilbert — Yup, mostly heating problem. but blind fanboy’s are eating it up.
not exactly surprising.
i just cant justify it, i mean everything it can do my phone can do.
so why would i shell out a minimum of 540 bucks for one?
if i could use it as a more portable laptop then i could justify it.
but you cant, its just a oversized ipod touch!
Yeah – and it’s a shame the thing’s already overheating…
not surprising allot of devices have these issues close to release.
4 had the same problems and was fixed pretty quickly in a os update.
