The i-Pad Sells over 300,000 on Day One in the US
From the SmartPhone revolution, m-ecommerce, the way in which people access the internet is changing. Nowhere can this trend be more clearly identified than when you look at the first day of sales for Apple’s iPad.
Apple managed to sell an impressive 300,000 iPad’s on the first day of launch in the US, although this wasn’t quite as high as the sales of the iPhone, which topped half a million.
More than one million applications were also downloaded from the app store on the launch date, with over 250,000 ebooks purchased from the iBookstore. But what does this mean for the future of web design?
Well just as the launch of the iPhone completely revolutionised the mobile phone sector, the launch of the iPad will completely change what consumer demands from a brand’s website.
Web designers will have to respond quickly and strategically to the changing landscape of web design or risk getting left behind . . .
