The line at Regent leading all the way up to the Apple store was pretty long and such was the case for many other stores all over the UK. The international launch of the iPad has finally arrived and from the looks of things, Apple is doing well.
Right now, it is still hard to pin down the final figures as the actual sales statistics have yet to be revealed, though it would not be surprising if the iPad has managed to hit about two hundred thousand over the weekend in the UK alone. Vodafone’s re-launch of the Apple iPhone last January has already hit the 100k mark in the first week of sales, and that is after two years of the original release date.
Of course, there is much more to the sales of Apples touch screen tablet. More than just a popular brand, people are flocking to Apple stores nationwide in for the accessibility and ease of use of the Apple iPad touch screen tablet.
The genius behind the design of the tablet is the fact that it uses touch input –a form of user control that is far more intuitive and natural to use than a keyboard and mouse combination. In fact, if it were not for the limitations of technology, it actually makes more sense that touch screens would have been the first things to be invented over the keyboard, mouse and other input devices.
Lack of Flash is still a major issue –and is still a good source of a few laughs in store when surprised shoppers realize that they cannot attend to their virtual farms using the Apple iPad. Of course, there are also a few who are mistaken into thinking that the iPad is actually a mini-computer, when the device is simply made for viewing content and not actually developing or creating something.
