Sheesh!

"The company said in a statement that it had delivered more than 500,000 iPads during the first week that it was on the market"

Current run rate: 500,000/week x 52 = 26 million units per year in the U.S.A. only

Not sustainable, I know, but whoa...

The focus groups that Apple talked with didn’t hype it up enough with the people studying the groups

i thought it was generally understood that Apple doesn't do focus groups.
