For the three-day period, the cumulative total was estimated at 152,000."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1264960943.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>Quite the demand, in fact the pre-order number total for the iPad is more than the <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/zdnet/cell-phones/~3/-T9XC0BqJXw/" target="_blank">number of Google Nexus One phones that have sold in the last 74 days</a>. If you want to get your pre-order listed in the tally, email [email protected] with the number of ipads ordered, order time, time zone, memory capacity and the order number (make sure the last 3 digits of the order number is deleted). Wonder how this will compare to the 3G version, any thoughts?Â*</p>
