Apple Company continues to soar high in the market today, as what the Standard & Poor’s equity research analyst Clyde Montevirgen indicated about the company, it still remains to be bullish. Apple started the revolution of personal computers in the market with their introduction of the Apple II. The company still remains to be the leading industry with its entire award winning computers OS X operating system, iPods, iTunes online store iPhone and now the magical iPad which is starting to hit the market of mobile media and computing devices.
Apple iPad went on sale last April this year in the Untied States. It was 28 days after that the company was able to sold a million of the devices and the sales increased to 2 million on May 31. And today, after almost 80 days of gracing the market place, Apple was able to sell 3 million of its devices. Yes, that huge number was done in just 80 days considering that Apple had just started shipping the devices in countries outside the United States in late May.
More and more people started to love this device. According to the company’s CEO, Steve Jobs, People are loving iPad that it becomes a part of their daily lives.

And as what was announced, the device will be available in nine more countries including Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore in July.

According to the Deutsche Bank analyst, the estimate intended this 2010 for the iPad is being increased to 12 million units from five million units and the 7.5 million units for next year will be made to 17 million. The company also looks forward to another long lines, heavy store traffics as well as stock outs.
The latest sales figures for the device was made a day after Amazon and Barnes & Noble announced that they were lowering the prices of their e-book readers. The giant online retailer had lessened the price of its Kindle e-reader from 259 dollars to 189 dollars while the US bookstore chain reduced the price of its Nook to 199 dollars from 259 dollars.
