I am predicting that the iPad will have a slow start, but then become a roaring success.
Seems I got it wrong. It’s a roaring success from the very start:
April 14 (Bloomberg) — Apple Inc. delayed by a month the international debut of its iPad tablet computer after shipping more than 500,000 of the devices in a week and underestimating how quickly they would sell in the U.S.
Less than a week after Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs said the company was building iPads “as fast as we can,” Apple said in a statement that demand is “far higher” than it predicted. Apple lacks supply for several weeks and made a “difficult decision” to delay global sales until end of May.
