CUPERTINO, Calif.,/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple® today
announced that iPad(TM) sales have topped two million in less than 60
days since its launch on April 3. Apple began shipping iPad in

iPads for everyone."
iPad allows users to connect with their apps, content and the
Internet in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.
Users can browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos,
watch HD videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more,
all using iPad's revolutionary Multi-Touch(TM) user interface. iPad is
0.5 inches thin and weighs just 1.5 pounds--thinner and lighter than any
laptop or netbook--and delivers up to 10 hours of battery life.*
Developers have created over 5,000 exciting new apps for iPad that
take advantage of its Multi-Touch user interface, large screen and
high-quality graphics. iPad will run almost all of the more than 200,000
apps on the App Store, including apps already purchased for your
iPhone® or iPod touch®.
*Battery life depends on device settings, usage and other factors.
Actual results vary.
