The iPad Week One

Apple's iPad has been a big hit so far. Apple sold 300,000 units in the first day and within two days these new owners had downloaded well over a million apps. As compared with the launch of the iPhone, Apple was better prepared for the buying frenzy. Even with the impressive sales numbers, the devices were readily available in many Apple retail stores. Outside of the first day, many buyers were able to walk into their nearest store to buy any of the 3 models (16GB, 32GB, and 64GB) in the initial release, without having to wait.

PMG's Tommy Hadges and Pat Welsh were among the early adopters, purchasing their units within the first 3 days that they were on sale. This week, and in weeks to come, they will share their thoughts on the device. While others have talked about the various pros and cons, doing traditional reviews of the iPad, Tommy and Pat will take a different perspective, talking about how the device is changing their computing and entertainment consumption and the implications for the future.
