Talvez a histeria não seja a mesma provocada pelo lançamento do iPhone, mas acabei de ver o sucesso do iPad sob uma interessante comparação. Lembram-se da Palm? A empresa que desbravou o mercado de portáteis e abriu portas para o que entendemos hoje como mobilidade? E olha que pra isso contaram com a ajuda da Apple que lançou o fatídico Newton.Pois é, a Apple vendeu 300 mil iPads no primeiro dia (e olha que a versão 3G nem foi lançada ainda). Olhando o número parece ser muita coisa. E é mesmo.
A Palm vendeu 408 mil smartphones (de todos os modelos) durante três meses finalizados em fevereiro(!). É mole ou quer mais?!
Peguei a notícia no AlleyInsider. Vejam abaixo...
Apple Has Already Sold More iPads Than Palm Pres Sold Last Quarter
Here's another way to put Apple's iPad opening weekend in perspective: Apple has already sold more iPad units than Palm sold of its flagship Pre smartphone last quarter.
Apple sold 300,000 iPads on the first day and more sold on Sunday -- and and a bunch of iPad 3G tablets have been pre-ordered. For comparison, Palm sold 408,000 smartphones during its February quarter, across both the Pre and Pixi.
Meanwhile, the iPad already likely has more apps than the Palm Pre, too. As of last night, there were already roughly 3,300 iPad apps available for download, according to Lazard Capital analyst Colin Sebastian. During Palm's earnings call last month, the company said it had "over 2,000" apps available for its WebOS App Catalog. Unless that number has since skyrocketed, the iPad appears to be out in front.
On one hand, that's because it was relatively easy for developers to port their iPhone apps over to the iPad. But on the other hand, WebOS's super-simple HTML- and CSS-based app architecture was supposed to make it easy to develop zillions of apps for WebOS devices, too. That simply hasn't happened.
