Apple never ceases to amaze me. The iPad is not a device that I would have expected to be widely popular and yet, two months after its release, the new handheld thingamajig has already sold two million units. Over 30,000 iPads would have to move every day to make that number.

You know, I haven’t even touched one of these yet? Yeah, that’s right. A virgin. I don’t want to either because then I will probably desire one of my own. I need another gadget lying around this house about as much as I need an alien dinosaur robot ninja to lay waste to my building. I’m pretty sure my insurance won’t cover something like that.

iPad Reaches Two Million Sales [Edge]

We told you about our experience with the just-announced Apple iPad yesterday; this morning, we’ll show you, by way of the above video. You’ll note that both Need for Speed Shift and NOVA are the same non-iPad versions available on the App Store today – the enhanced versions shown during the keynote are works-in-progress and weren’t available to demo. On the down side, the versions we played included the “2X” upscale button; on the up side, they benefited from the larger screen and increased tilt sensitivity.

While the above video isn’t representative of what the iPad is capable of, it is representative of how we think many iPhone owners will use the device, since iPhone and iPad games won’t be cross-compatible.
