iPad .. is it fantasy !! or market strategy!!

Mac recently reported that they had a reported on their website as they have sold over 300,00 iPads on the first day. That’s a good news to read from both the sides, ie., from internal Mac as well as from out side as consumers that this product is being liked by such huge number on the first day. By now, the number might have been reached to 4.2 million or it might reach in the near future.

The internal sources say that they would sell about 5.6m by this year and reach 7.1m on world wide. Not just so, according to this link they are also predicting it to triple by 2012. Is this a hype or just the business!!

On a flip side, there are many limitations on this product such as the temperature. It needs to be cooled before you use it when the inherent temp crosses certain limits. Not just this, it can’t be used under the bare sun due to the natural temperature, don’t believe me.. just read this. Yes, of course, that the iPad is coming with the GPS feature, which would add a value for the USA vehicles to track the road and help the driver with the road map. But what happens when it is heated much due to the external factors!!??

Apart of all these, I see this as a marketing push of a product to the daily life and make some trade. Once the trade is complete the manufactures can release few number of service packs or few free service supports. Nothing but the business plan as implemented by Microsoft.

What do you think?
