Apple has released the official figures today for U.S. iPad sales, saying that including pre-orders, the company has sold 300,000 units on launch date.
Analyst Gene Munster had predicted 700,000 unit sales yesterday, but he was clearly wrong. The 300,000 number is still a large number however, surpassing all conservative predictions.
On launch day, one million apps were downloaded, and 250,000 e-books were downloaded from the iBookStore, notes Apple.
The iPad is available today starting at $499, for the Wi-Fi only version. 3G data versions will be available by the end of April.
