Apple says it sold more than 300,000 of its latest product, the iPad tablet computer, on its launch day in the US.
The figures for Saturday included pre-orders of the device, as well as sales at Apple stores across the country.
The iPad is not yet available in other countries, but will be on sale in parts of Europe, Canada and Australia by the end of April.

Yeah, I'm going to wait for version 2 or 3. I have no overriding need for it and it's lacking some of the things I care about (camera,phone, multi-tasking) and the price is high for the 3G.
I'm thinking that many of these features will be in future versions that will sell for much less, and most likely also have more memory.

I'd be more interested in an iPad if I hadn't just purchased a Macbook Air not long before Christmas. As it is, I'm content to wait and watch to see what version 2 or 3 are like.
If those versions closed some of the features gaps, the iPad would become more attractive.
