Most people want to see 3M in 80 days, but it is more like 3M in 3000 days. Correct me if I am wrong, but Apple started to work on these touch screen technology (which I guess is the foundation of the Ipad) since 2001. Or at least that's what I heard during Jobs'D8 interview.


Using that logic, it's 3M sold in about 40 years, since that's about when the first microprocessors were developed.


That is different I believe. The key feature for the Ipad would be it's touch screen technology.


They haven't been _selling_ them for 3000 days.


But they have been selling the iPad for more than 80 days. Of course, Apple never counts the pre-order period.
