Analysts on average had expected first-day iPad sales of 400,000 to 500,000 units. Some analysts, such as Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, had even higher sales projections of 600,000 to 700,000 units. Estimates for global iPad sales this year ranged from 2.5 million by financial-services firm Kaufman Bros. to as high as 7.1 million by research firm iSuppli Corp.
600,000 is probably closer to the number they are going to get returned when people find out the WiFi doesn't work as well as their laptops, or that, try as they might, they can't think of any use they have for the things.
