Apple takes over 50,000 iPad orders in first two hours

Wow thats a lot. (I think) Will hey be able to get that many in time for launch! I still think it sucks, and is overpriced, overhyped and anyone who buys it is an ideo. But thats my Opinion. Take yer best shots apple fanboys, I can take it!

*they, ******* (off topic: Can I not edit my comments after post? I make mistakes all the time, several comments I posted today don't make sense or are spelt wrong with poor grammer.)

While I find most all Apple products have a "sexyness" factor. I find it hard to shell out extra bucks for the sexy factor. This iPad was perhaps the first Apple product in my price range but not supporting Flash? What are they thinking? I find it difficult to browse the web and not run into a Flash page.

I'll pass on this, but Apple could send me one just the same.

50,000 orders for two hours....I think that's a big number=success. This two hour "love" about the iPad isn't because it offers really good features, but because it's from Apple.

So, pretty much we know who the top 50,000 people that shouldn't be using computers are.
Peachy in other news we need to stop seeing so much news about apple.

"So, pretty much we know who the top 50,000 people that shouldn't be using computers are."

Guest beat me to the punch. 50,000 people who don't know what constitutes good technology.

Gotta agree, there's quite a few mornings I just go to Engadgets, sense they actually do have an apple free section.

Should be noted to get a truly apple free experance there you also have to add Iphone to the exclude.

Its not 50,000 people that order the ipad....Its 50,000 ipad sold...so it could be a multiple company, small business buying this items and try to sell it back for a profit...just a thought..

No, it's orders, so if a company got 50,000 to resale that counts as 1.

" It also represents orders, not units, and some folks surely purchased multiple iPads at once."

Well, theres nothing wrong with the ipods/iphones, but this? who would buy this! it's just an over sized, overpriced, ipod touch with a slightly optimized os! infact, the ipod os is just a remake of osx, so the really just went back into early ipod touch development and fixed up the os so it runs smoother. adobe is probably going to make a flash for it, but that could conclude in a flash for the iphone, so apple may not allow it... whatever. whoever buys this is really wasting their time. just jailbreak an ipod! (unless you are just desperate to have one with better innards.)

Hmm... Wonder if I should buy one to inflate the price and put it on eBay? Maybe not... It's not a PS3. It's an iPad... And I wouldn't want to be seen with one around my friends.

i hate apple

As would I.

Plus, I really have no use for a big digital screen. As do many people out there, but they will still buy it.

No thanks. But here's a good video...

Change the x's to t's.

Despite my dislike for the iPad, and Apple computers in general, it is really not all that surprising to me that it is selling so well already considering the size and dedication of Apple's fan base.

Just wondering those are 50,000 pre-orders, wonder how many people might cancel or if the demand will be met.

It just only mean that many consumers like the products of apple. As what I have known that apple is protecting their patent against HTC company but I am not so sure who between them is telling the truth. Basically at of this time there are many orders and that's a good job for apple.

Amazing numbers
