  1. Apple’s iPad Ze Ling Goh Verna Aguilar Anne Zimmerman

  2. The Apple Retail Store • Apple’s first computer came out on April Fool's Day, 1976. • Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs released the Apple I computer and started Apple Computers. • The Apple I was the first with a single circuit board used in a computer. • Then came the Apple II, the Mac, the MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook air, Mac mini, Mac Pro, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and the iMac

  3. The Apple Retail Store cont. • Apple takes off with the introduction of the iPod then the iPhone, iPod classic, iPod touch, iPod nano and now the iPad. • Apple also carries all the accessories and programming needed for these items.

  4. iPad • The iPad combines the features of the iPhone and the iPod touch. There is over 1,000 apps available for the iPad eg. iBooks • Height: 9.56 inches, width: 7.47 inches, depth: 0.5 inch • Weight: Approximately 1.5 pounds • Prices: Wi-Fi: 16GB1 -$499.00, 32GB1 - $599.00, and 64GB1 - $699.00 • Wi-Fi + 3G (data plan sold separately): 16GB - $629.00, 32GB1 - $729.00, and 64GB1 - $829.00

  5. “IPad goes on sale to long lines, high expectations” • Went on sale on Saturday • Offers a user the ability to do everything from watching TV to surfing the Web to sending e-mail -- all from a 9.7-inch touch screen with no physical keyboard attached but an onscreen keyboard • For Apple, the iPad represents a break from its typical business model • Apple has made its name by introducing ground-breaking devices into established markets -- Mac computer, iPod digital music player and iPhone • With the iPad, the company is launching a new kind of device into a relatively nascent market

  6. Sales Estimates for the iPad • Analysts expect the iPad to sell between 750,000 and 1.5 million units for the quarter ending in June • For the full fiscal year, estimates range from as low as 2 million units to as high as 6 million, with the averagetarget at around 3.5 million units

  7. “Analysts say long-term results are more important than opening-weekend sales” • The question of how many they sell this year is less important than whether they can they succeed in taking the iPad from the Apple enthusiasts to the mass market • The buzz Apple created to make the iPad's debut a national craze and give it tens of millions of dollars in free publicity -- the iPad is on the covers of Newsweek and Time magazines -- could bust • iPad is too futuristic for the mainstream consumer
