51,000 iPads Sold in two hours

 By 11:05am EST the group had received 15 confirmations with order numbers reaching 74,000. The iPad went up for pre-order at 08:30 EST.

"51,000 orders in two hours," announced Victor Castroll an analyst with Valcent Financial Group. His estimate takes into account roughly 15,000 non-iPad orders that come in every day. 

Silicon Alley Insider posted a similar 20,000-per-hour figure based on two sales made 30 minutes apart whose order numbers differed by 10,000.

Fortune report that rumors from the supply chain suggest that Apple may only have 300,000 units available for sale on April 3.

According to the spreadsheet, 25% pre-ordered Wi-Fi + 3G models and 25% ordered the largest, 64 GB model. A quarter of them also ordered two iPads.[via brainstormtech]

Multitasking Support to be Included in Apple’s iPhone 4.0

 According to AppleInsider, "people with a proven track record in predicting Apple's technological advances" say that the company has developed a "full-on solution" to multitasking for the iPhone OS.

From a user-facing perspective, Apple plans to deliver a multi-tasking manager that leverages interface technology already bundled with its Mac OS X operating system, according to those same people. It was requested that specifics be withheld at this time, as the iPhone Software 4.0 remains under development and reportedly has a quite 'way to go' before it's ready for prime time.

  

Technically the iPhone OS already preforms multi-tasking; however, only official iPhone apps are allowed to run in the background. Enabling App Store applications to operate in the background would require a new graphical interface for switching and a way for apps to communicate with each other or prioritize resource allocation. 

Jailbroken iPhone users may already know about ProSwitcher and Backgrounder apps which enables true multitasking on both iPhone and iPod touch. iPhone itself has some sort of multitasking support for stock apps like Mail, iPod which keeps running in the background while you can browse the web, and do some other work. But you cant do this with all apps unless you are jailbroken.[via AppleInsider]

Apple Adds New Commands Coming to an iPhone/iPad

The latest iPhone SDK reveals that Apple has added two new touch commands to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

A 9to5Mac user has found these new commands in the gestures folder of the iPhone 3.2 Beta 4 SDK.

Apple is likely allowing developers to use these capabilities in the next versions of the OS

The files, 3Tap.plist and LongPress.plist, refer to a triple tap and a long press command; both of which are not present in the 3.1 SDK.

Verizon Calls iPad Launch 'an opportunity' to Sell Some Data Plans

 

An internal document from the company reads as follows...

Apple introduces the iPad - an opportunity for VZW

The iPad is anew category of device, between a smartphone and laptop, and will be offered in two models

- WiFi only - available April 3, 2010

- Wi-Fi + 3G - shipping late April

Sounds great, but isn't iPad exclusive to AT&T?

- iPad will not be sold directly by AT&T

- Sales, customer service & billing will be handled by Apple

- Customers who purchase the 3G version & want 3G capability will need to purchase a data plan to use AT&T's 3G network

- The 3G iPad is priced $130 more than the Wi-Fi only version, plus the cost of a 3G service plan.

The iPad is an opportunity for VZW!

- Why pay more for the 3G version & get 3G service on an overloaded network with limited coverage?

- Customers who purchase the Wi-Fi only iPad can use the ......

While using the Wi-Fi version with a MiFi type device sounds good, how is Verizon planning to convince people to pay $60/month for 5GB while AT&T is offering $30/month for unlimited?[via Engadget]

iPad will be Realeased Without Some of the Applications

 The iPad will be realeased without some of the applications created by Apple and installed automatically on the iPhone and iPod touch. Small utilities Calculator, Weather, Clock, Stock and Dictaphone. Their absence from the main screen picture of the Apple iPad had already been noticed. Some had even imagined that to replace the iPad (via iPhone OS) would adopt a system of widgets as found for example on Android.

None of this says John Gruber on the basis of well-informed sources said, this collection of utilities will not be there on D-Day decision to Steve Jobs.

The latter would have simply said that the result of their adaptation with the same interface, the format of the iPad was not very successful. Perhaps they will return in another form, with a completely revised interface ... maybe not.

The developers of similar applications exist on the App Store will go anyway to forego attempting to take their place in the hearts of users. With the advantage that these applications can be uninstalled at will while it was impossible to remove those when Apple was still no use

iPad Parts Photos Still Support Camera

The most notable feature in this frame is that the webcam holes remain. The holes appear to be a slightly different style and don’t seem to allow one of the currently used iSight modules (such as in a Unibody Macbook) to fit snug into the hole. It, however, seems strange that multiple versions of this midboard frame have the webcam holes when no currently known model includes a webcam. 

 

Generally manufacturing companies that have two different revisions of a product will try to save money on production by using interchangeable parts, but from the looks of this so far, all of these prerelease parts are being made to house hardware that is not available on any model. This could be attributed to either a late minute announcement that will have people pulling out their wallets, or it was a last minute design pull. (The fact that the camera holes made it from supposed prototype to final revision could possibly support some type of late announcement theory….though we seriously doubt it.)[via powerbookmedic]
