Things continue to tick along nicely for Apple as the vendor marks hitting the 3m sales mark on the iPad in under three months.
The tablet had already shipped a couple of million in its first 60 days but has seen the sales continue to grow on the back of the arrival of the product in the UK.
Sales of the iPad should filter into the next set of financial results along with the impact of the launch of iPhone 4.
Apple is continuing to roll out the iPad in more territories and Apple CEO Steve Jobs was upbeat about hitting 3m sales in 80 days: "People are loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives".
A lot of G4 iBook user will have a shock when they try to connect their new iPad to their old IBook: "Operating System wrong version".
Mac OS x version 10.4.1.1 will not connect to iPad , Mac OS x version 10.5.8 will.
All the retail versions of the upgrade Mac OS x 10.5.8 Leopard have been removed from Apple shops and returned to some Apple warehouse?
The Mac OS x 10.6.0 and above Snow Leopard appears to have a retail value of early 20.00 pounds, this will not work on the G4 versions Snow Leopard requires a Intel CPU.
Has Apple Deliberately abandend their G4 iBooks or just lack of foresight, I hope it is the latter.
It was the G CPU range that seperated Mac equipment from the PC, now they appear to have desserted the very thing that made them great.
