Chitika tracking iPad purchases, estimates 560K so far

Steve Jobs just announced 450,000 sold through today.

not sure you can on an ipad.

also, i wonder how many ipads haven't used safari yet. so haven't been counted.

This is a key step to how they get that number: "We multiply that by how much of the Internet we see at any given time to figure out how many iPads in total are out there"

Wow that is an insanely bad idea unless they are on 99.9% of the net.

Their system has a flaw,
What they are apparently doing is counting the amount of unique IP addresses they see, now if every house hold only has one iPad and has a static IP address then sure, but you might have 1 person with 4 iPads so they only register 1 unique iPad, problem is a few hours pass and lets say their DSL reconnects and they get a new IP address and bang they have 2 "unique" iPads. take a walk down the road to you buddies house to show him and you have 3 "unique" iPads and off to Star Bucks and you have 4 "unique" iPads

of course on the other hand you might walk into Star Bucks and have 20 iPads and it will only register the first one,

All in all its an interesting look at how many iPads are out there but the longer it goes on the less accurate it will become, in 2 weeks time a person might have used 20 or 30 unique ip address with only one iPad

Just saw The iPad today. Mind you Im a PC user (Desktop, and formerly working laptop), and Im very impressed. I started using Apple products back in 2006 when my wife bought me The iPod Nano, then came The iPod Classic in 2008, then The iPhone in 2009. I must admit Im very happy with my Apple products. Their very reliable, as well as steamlined and efficient. Plus each has it own purpose:

- Nano : PT (Physical Training)
- Classic : Watching Videos on the plane, train, work, etc.
- iPhone : ALWAYS ON ME! :)

I must admit The iPhone, which I bought about 10 months ago is INCREDIBLE. IT has transformed my life. Before it I used to rush home to use The PC to check email, etc., Now I just wait for that (ping) and 5 - 20 sec later I see teh email. In fact its so fast I use it checking my Yahoo email (multiple accounts) while on the computer.

What I noticied about the iPad is its the perfect device to use when you dont want to open up your laptop, plug the power adapter, wait for boot up, load explorer, and start browsing. It'll take a bit to set all that up. Plus its BULKY.

The iPad... Pull it out... Swipe...Tap... your ready. Plus I Must admit ... it feels like your holding the web in your hand. It feels alive. Theres no comparrison between using your laptop and a iPad. Its a different surfing experience.

Cant wait to check out http://www.statedefenseforce.com on the iPad... next time Im at the Apple Store I plan to do so.

Hopefully I can get 1 in the next few months.

i wonder when they are coming to Australia :D

got my credit card ready :)

I hope they announce the European launch date after today's presentation.

whatever. chikita should just stick to bananas.

oh wait.
