3 Million iPads sold in just 4 days

Apple never likes to release launch sales figures, but today they announced that they have sold over 3 million iPads in under 4 days, calling it the “Strongest iPad launch yet.” Apple did not release how many iPad 2’s were sold during it’s first few days of launch because it was in short supply. The original iPad sold 300,000 on the first day and took about a month to sell 1 million.
