2 Million doesn't really mean much considering that (almost) every single Apple fanboy wanted one and they had consumers wait for a long time, people would rush in to get one as soon as they can.

It's a good number nonetheless good job apple.

However them trying to fragment the internet by denying support for technologies that have existed for a decade, that shit don't fly. ]]>May 31st 2010 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/Same here. Sure, I'd like to play with one. But the need for a real laptop to sync with and to activate it kinda defeats the purpose of buying one for me.

An iPad is fine if you have money to burn.

Having one still won't keep the netbook or the Archos at home. No matter how spiffy or magical the iPad is, it still can't displace either of those devices. It's too limited. It's too busy being "magical".

Nevermind that it is mostly redundant anyways (iphone).]]>May 31st 2010 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/
"Just another Apple Hater who can't stand to see Apple prove them wrong...YET AGAIN."

Having fun jacking off to a large corporation while they suck your wallet dry? ROFL.

The only reason I care about the iPad is because Apple is trying to steer the whole internet towards HTML5 when it isn't even finalized yet.

Congratulations. This proves that the average buyer doesn't know squat about computers. This proves that marketing and name brand recognition is everything. I've seen it from most everyone: the second you start to talk in detail about technology, their eyes gloss over. This is not a good sign, it's bad, like the coming of Idiocracy.

This is the exact same reason that American Idol is the number one television show, that McDonalds sells the most hamburgers. It's all about marketing.

So congrats, Apple. I know the target audience for the iPad. Older people who don't own a primary laptop or desktop and those who would rather not use their brains for 15 seconds/ would rather play mindless time-wasting games than do anything productive.

EVERY SINGLE TIME someone brings up a competitor, there is an Apple fanboy like LondonExchange that comes in to say something to the effect of "This is a guaranteed fail, why would anyone challenge the iPad?" Congrats. Just keep on thinking you're special and acting smug because you went with what is popular.

One more thing: on almost any other article involving a competitor to the iPad, some FANBOY (That's right, LondonExchange. you're not an "Apple supporter" you're a friggin fanboy. You call everyone else "Apple haters", so you're going to be an Apple fanboy) comes in to talk about how the iPad has already won the popular vote. When someone brings up a competitor that has better hardware and just as good of a user experience (like the tablets that have been released the past few days), eventually the whole argument boils down to "Screw the specs, the iPad's sold more".]]>May 31st 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/Just as good? So, they've had more than enough time and effort to design something better, and a laggy, half usable interface laid over an existing OS is considered just as good?
Wow, you have low standards, my friend. ]]>May 31st 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/
"laggy, half usable interface laid over an existing OS"

Firstly, I think all pure slate tablets are stupid in general. Why the hell would you only want an on-screen keyboard and touch control? I would much rather prefer something that converts and gives the user the option for more fine control with a keyboard and mouse, unless you somehow think that someone on an on-screen keyboard can beat someone on a physical keyboard.

Secondly, what is the matter with Windows 7? It's built around multitouch and touchscreen devices. Looking at the ExoPC, I don't see any lag. Seriously. It's just as fluid as the iPad, and has the option of going into Windows 7 for some real computing.

Have fun with your iPad. You are definitely in the group of old people/or inexperience computer users.

This is the problem with the general public. For some reason form is always more important that function. My philosophy is that form, function, and value should go hand in hand, and nothing should be missing from that trio. The value and function of the iPad simply doesn't add up to the form factor. Congrats on the huge sales of a giant iPod Touch.]]>May 31st 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/
There is alot of bitterness in your post. Go to get a drink if you are old enough to drink.

Damn straight there's a lot of bitterness. You would have some too if wherever you go you're surrounded by people who rub in your face that a product is doing amazingly, and that somehow makes you less of a person. Don't believe me? Read LondonExchange's comment about 50 times. That's what we who don't prefer the iPad encounter on a daily basis.

And what angers me more is that even while I recognize that the iPad has a large target audience and is great for a giant iPod Touch, the Apple fanboys still continue to harass competitors and claim that people should just stop trying to compete with Apple. That's what annoys me the most. Competition = innovation. Once competition dies, so does innovation, and that is an extremely frustrating concept.]]>May 31st 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/May 31st 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/LOL, So, get a dumbphone and then no one will think twice about you.]]>May 31st 2010 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/Ha!

You hip, young whippersnappers with your cool cat Android and whizzbang Windows 7 tablets. Get off my iLawn.

Joking aside, so you'd rather have a laptop, but not really a laptop? Make up your mind. The iPad is perfect for what it does. Fast mobile computing without the bulk. Slap a full OS on there and you are missign the point. Mobile OS' for a mobile device, full OS' for a more laptop/desktop device. Simple. Can't understand that? Too bad, youngster.]]>May 31st 2010 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/
Interestingly enough, this new Apple TV idea might be worth a second look. There's already so many dedicated pc media servers and wdtv live's a person needs in a single household, but if Apple TV transforms into a cheap gadget with a few redeeming qualities, I certainly wouldn't mind jumping on that bandwagon soon.

And then the whole haterz vs fanbois drama would start up all again.

I admit it's that DRAMA that draws me to engadget in the first place! ]]>May 31st 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/
"Ha! I love how if someone doesn't completely agree with you, they are obviously inexperienced or old."
Reading comprehension must not be your strong point. You support/want the iPad, therefore you must be in its target audience, aka: people who don't know better or need anything more.

"Joking aside, so you'd rather have a laptop, but not really a laptop? Make up your mind."
Uhhh why do I have to make up my mind? That's my whole point! Reading comprehension fail. I want a laptop that isn't a laptop. I want a mobile computing device that gives me the flexibility/ freedom to do what I want, how I want it. That's why I love convertible tablets like the tm2. Awesome touchscreen/stylus input plus the ability to give me more appropriate input options when needed. Devices like the iPad are all about limiting how the user interacts with data.

"The iPad is perfect for what it does. Fast mobile computing without the bulk."
Almost completely agree there. Except for the mobile computing. If you had said media consumption, I would have agreed 100%.

"Slap a full OS on there and you are missign [sic] the point. Mobile OS' for a mobile device, full OS' for a more laptop/desktop device. Simple. Can't understand that? Too bad, youngster."
Again, my point obviously went over your head. This is why I dislike ALL slate tablets that make their owners choose to limit themselves to ONLY touchscreen input, or force them to awkwardly connect peripherals.

What is wrong with a full OS? Properly skinned, it's almost indistinguishable from a "mobile os". And it gives the owners the FREEDOM to use whatever program they want. If they want a simplistic user interface, they can have it. But when they're ready to do some real work, or want the freedom to do other things, that's when a full OS comes in handy.]]>May 31st 2010 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/

Again, deriding someone for buying a product just makes you look like a pompous ass.

"Uhhh why do I have to make up my mind? That's my whole point! Reading comprehension fail. I want a laptop that isn't a laptop.

Awesome touchscreen/stylus input plus the ability to give me more appropriate input options when needed. Devices like the iPad are all about limiting how the user interacts with data."
So, you want a laptop that isn't a laptop and hate slates, but realize that there are places for both of the form factors to be used? Again, figure out what you want before you open your mouth and spout crap.

"Almost completely agree there. Except for the mobile computing. If you had said media consumption, I would have agreed 100%."
Except, you can do pretty much what you need to from a mobile aspect. Word processing, spreadsheets, presentations. Are you going to render CGI on it? Hell no, but I doubt you are going to do that on a netbook or hybrid device either.

"Again, my point obviously went over your head. This is why I dislike ALL slate tablets that make their owners choose to limit themselves to ONLY touchscreen input, or force them to awkwardly connect peripherals."
It didn't go over my head. Your only point was that you can't understand why people like something that you don't. I got that loud and clear. Too bad for you that this isn't the world according to Mike. And awkward? Last time I checked, my bluetooth keyboard matched perfectly with the iPad. No muss, no fuss. Too awkward for you to type in the connect code. Maybe you want a PS/2 connection on there, so you can color code your connections?

"What is wrong with a full OS? Properly skinned, it's almost indistinguishable from a "mobile os". And it gives the owners the FREEDOM to use whatever program they want. If they want a simplistic user interface, they can have it. But when they're ready to do some real work, or want the freedom to do other things, that's when a full OS comes in handy."
The problem with a full OS is that there ends up being a ton of services that aren't needed for this form factor. Microsoft is not going to stop services for you just because you are on a tablet. It's going to run the full OS no matter what device you are on. A specific OS is needed for these type of devices. Sorry you can't seem to understand that concept, Einstein.
And slapping another UI on top of an existing OS is just a cheap way out of saying that the underlying OS doesn't really belong there. If it was such a good idea, why not let it be?]]>May 31st 2010 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/

Awww. Aren't you cute. Call me a troll to circumvent reading my arguments. Good one.

@redhineymonkey

"Again, deriding someone for buying a product just makes you look like a pompous ass."

I'm not deriding you. I'm saying if you buy the iPad, it's meant for you, you're part of the target market, aka: people who don't want anything more than a media consumption device, old people, or those who don't know any better.

"So, you want a laptop that isn't a laptop and hate slates, but realize that there are places for both of the form factors to be used?"
Yep. I want a laptop that is both a regular laptop AND a slate. Seriously, do you not get it? I want OPTIONS AND FREEDOM. People may use either, but they're limiting themselves. Which is perfectly fine if that's what they want to spend their money on.

"Again, figure out what you want before you open your mouth and spout crap."
Not crap. I truly don't care whether or not you buy an Apple product. I do care that Apple is having success using a process that takes away freedom from the developer, consumer, and everyone in between. Because other companies will try to repeat that success. I like my development and platforms relatively open. Closed platforms may offer a better user experience, but you give up far too much freedom IMO.


"Except, you can do pretty much what you need to from a mobile aspect. Word processing, spreadsheets, presentations. Are you going to render CGI on it? Hell no, but I doubt you are going to do that on a netbook or hybrid device either."
But you CAN. You're not limited. You can do what you want when you want it with the device that you spent your hard-earned money on.

"It didn't go over my head. Your only point was that you can't understand why people like something that you don't. I got that loud and clear. Too bad for you that this isn't the world according to Mike."
Very true. Have fun in 1984. Big Brother Apple will love you.

"And awkward? Last time I checked, my bluetooth keyboard matched perfectly with the iPad. No muss, no fuss."
So you like having to crick your neck at an odd angle to see the screen properly? Unless you buy an extra accessory in order to stand the iPad up.

"Too awkward for you to type in the connect code. Maybe you want a PS/2 connection on there, so you can color code your connections?"
Aww. Cute. Try to make my argument seem illegitimate and make up a few strawmans while you're at it! Clever, Apple fanboy.


"The problem with a full OS is that there ends up being a ton of services that aren't needed for this form factor. Microsoft is not going to stop services for you just because you are on a tablet."
If you don't like those services, stop them. It's all perfectly configurable in Windows 7.

"And slapping another UI on top of an existing OS is just a cheap way out of saying that the underlying OS doesn't really belong there. If it was such a good idea, why not let it be?"
FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM. Do you not get it? "Hey I want to use this nice skin to consume media. Now, I'll switch out of it and do the stuff I'm used to on a normal computer"

Seriously. I can't use GoToMyPC on any mobile device so far. I have to whip out my computer. Know why? Cuz it works on windows. I would love to have a small device that ran windows so I wouldn't have to be limited on what I can do. I recognize that this isn't for everyone. But saying that Apple is the end-all and that everyone else should just stop trying, and that there is zero market for a slate with Windows makes my blood boil.]]>May 31st 2010 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/You've got way too much time on your hands, son.

Now, listen here Marie, no one gives a flying hooter if you're all teary eyed over the iPad's success. When a company spawns a versatile piece of machine like the iPad, it tends to get the attention of many. And, no, not because a couple of losers decided to go back to pre-K days and call a the iPad a bunch of widdo bad meany names, but because people can respect a company that makes sense. Having 5 versions of one OS doesn't make sense, and all the morons who buy 1.5 android handsets, what do you say to that? All of the morons who buy cheap $250 netbooks for media consumption? What about the idiots who go on iPad related stories just to express their heartfelt feelings about the evil dictatorship corporations? Wait, all corporations are like dictatorships? Not just Apple? GROW THE FUCK UP! Dell is always thinking of how to take down HP. HP is always thinking of ways to screw over Microsoft. Microsoft is thinking of ways to make HTC pay for switching to Android. And, they all want to take down Apple. So, no more bitching on how bad Apple is for making people happy, and more time finding what makes you happy, Dick. And, I'm not calling you Dick because you're a horrible excuse for a nerd/human, but because you remind me of this guy I knew back in high school who's name was Richard, Dick.]]>Jun 1st 2010 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/May 31st 2010 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/May 31st 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/May 31st 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/

100 million unhappy customers too. 100% fail, unlike the Apple. People have to buy Windoze.

Seriously? You cannot compare those devices with the iPad. I understand the whole gaming factor of the iPad but it is not a "gaming console." ]]>May 31st 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/May 31st 2010 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/
The success is, Apple doesn't sell iPads for a loss to gain market share like Xbox and PS2 did. Their 2 million+ iPads are profits to their bottom line.

As an investor, I would consider a couple of hundred million in profit a success, it's only been out for 2 months and generated enough buzz to sell well into the Christmas season. This is a new area of revenue for Apple.

I own both msft and aapl, only one of them has done well for me in the last 7 years.]]>May 31st 2010 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/apple-sells-two-million-ipads-international-launch-likely-the-m/
