According to Mike Abramsky, analyst at RBC Capital Markets, Apple is currently selling over 200 000 iPads a week – almost double the number of Macs being sold in the USA each week (approximately 110 000), and only slightly lower than the number of iPhone 3GS handsets being sold each week (around 246 000).
Abramsky believes that the strong sales figures of the iPad are being driven by “œrising consumer visibility to iPad‘s user experience, sustained PR/word-of-mouth marketing, 3G iPad launch, and broadening iPad apps/content“.
Based on the current outlook, Abramsky has raised his expectations for global iPad sales in 2010 from 5 million to 8 million (via Digital Daily).
