POPULARITY:

When it comes to popularity, the iPad is one of the fastest selling tech gadgets, we have ever seen. Having being announced on Januray 27, 2010, it was officialy released on April 3, 2010. Apple claims to have sold 1 million iPads by May 3, 2010, and 2 million by May 31. Due to online pre-orders Apple shifted 240,000 iPads in one day. Where as some of the famous products like iPod sold 129,000 units in its first 3 months, Amazon Kindle sold 1,100 units on its first day, Google Nexus One with 20,000 units in its first week, iPod Touch with about 16,000 sales on its first day, Xbox 360 sold 36,222 in its first 24 hours, Nintendo Wii with approximately 74,000 sales on the first day, Motorola Droid sold its 100,000 pieces on its first weekend.

DRAWBACKS:

The next generation computer without USB Ports, Built-In camera, Flash Support and Multi-tasking accessibility sounds really pathetic. The storage capacity which can not be increased, is another notable failure in the iPad.

Despite having a number of defects, somehow, the iPad has still managed to rule the techno-world. That is because of the remarkable features that are included in it and it has proved itself to be more attractive to the people than any other tablet PC out there in the market.
