The Apple iPad officially went up for pre-order yesterday and according to an analyst performing some educated guessing and analyzing, Apple sold around 51,000 iPads during the first two hours of pre-sale and 90,000 total during the first 6 hours.
Fortune’s Philip Elmer-DeWitt said: “51,000 orders in two hours,” announced Victor Castroll shortly after noon. Elmer-Dewitt is an analyst with Valcent Financial Group.
There are two caveats with these figures: first, they take into account all orders through the Apple online store, so some users may have not been buying iPads and secondly, they don’t count multiple iPads, just the whole order itself.
Later Victor Castroll from the same financial group said he reported Apple sold 90,000 iPads during the first 6 hours of pre-sale, which means Apple grossed $54 million in revenue during that timespan.
Even if these numbers aren’t exactly correct, that’s still a lot of iPads sold, and a lot of money made too!
