Apple's Hard iPad Sell

Apple's introduction of the revolutionary iPad increased its popularity. Based on a survey,
it was on the front page of at least 47 state newspapers, with pictures and stories about the product and a minimum of 24 countries worldwide.

In the last ten years, Apple has innovated communication and music with its iPhone and iPod touch. Newspapers look at the iPad as a way to boost up their fading industry by offering down-loadable applications. Book Publishers would use the iPad's large screen to sell books electronically instead of spending money on paper and fuel to deliver the books . Software developers, who have been making and selling apps on the app store for the iPhone and iPod, would make more money by taking advantage of the much larger screen of the iPad for better graphics or simply for softwares that specifically need a large screen.
As of January 1 2011, 8.26 million iPads have been sold worldwide.
