Apple has released the 3G-capable version of its iPad this weekend. According to one analyst, the company sold 300,000 3G iPads this weekend, including pre-orders. If this is true, then Apple sold as many 3G iPads during the first weekend of release as on the first day of the WiFi-only iPad's release.
The supply of 3G iPads was limited this weekend—many Apple stores reported selling out of iPads, both 3G-capable and WiFi-only capable. This shows how the release of the 3G iPad helped the sales of all iPads.
The analyst has estimated that Apple has sold more than 1 million iPads at this point, which suggests that Apple may exceed expectations for iPad sales during the June quarter.
Customers who pre-ordered the 3G iPad received them in the mail on Friday and those who went to retail stores were able to buy them starting at 5:00 PM on Friday. The 3G models are more expensive than the WiFi-only models and require a data plan with AT&T.
