還記得今年初iPad發表時,有人一面倒地唱衰,譬如Engadget就說想不到為什麼要花錢買iPad。
稍早前,iPad在美國正式開賣。
根據《Apple sells 50,000 iPads in two hours》這篇報導,Valcent Financial Group的分析師Victor Castroll提出報告指出:「蘋果電腦在iPad正式接受預購之後的2個小時裡,就賣掉了5萬1千台。」
"51,000 orders in two hours," announced Victor Castroll shortly after noon. He's an analyst with Valcent Financial Group and an AAPL Sanity member who, with the blogger-analyst who calls himself deagol, has been monitoring the spreadsheet.
這篇報導並持續提供隨後更新的預購數據:
iPad正式接受預購之後4個半小時,賣掉7萬4千台。
iPad正式接受預購之後6個小時,賣掉9萬1千台。
我猜想,6小時賣掉9萬1千台iPad這個事實,應該可以提供不少為什麼要花錢買iPad的靈感吧。
