Apple (NSDQ: APPL) announced Tuesday that it has sold 3 million iPads as of June 21, just 80 days after the product was introduced in the United States. The iPad allows users to browse the web, watch videos, listen to music, read and send emails, read e-books, along with many other features.
The company rolled the product out in several other countries earlier this month, including Canada, Australia, Germany and France. Apple plans to unveil the product in nine more countries during July.
“People are loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more people around the world, including those in nine more countries next month.”
iPad is 0.5 inches thin and weighs just 1.5 pound, thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook, while delivering up to 10 hours of battery life.* according to Apple’s statement.
