Apple sold 2 million iPads in less than 60 days since the tablet’s launch on April 3, the company said. It took 2 years for the iPod to reach the 2-millionth mark, and about 4 months to sell its 2 millionth iPhone. In fact, it took the hugely successful iPhone 74 days just to reach the 1-millionth mark.
The Apple juggernaut is rolling on, leaving fellow tech companies in the dust. The shares are rising even as Microsoft, Google, HP, IBM, eBay, Amazon, Yahoo are diminishing in market value.
