The iPad was released at 9am Saturday morning and the lines here in Boston were truly amazing. Early estimates are that between 600,000 and 700,000 were sold this weekend.
One of the first journalists to get an early view of the iPad was Stephen Fry who wrote the cover article for Time magazine this week all about the iPad. Here was what he wrote about meeting with Steve Jobs:
"I have met five British Prime Ministers, two American Presidents, Nelson Mandela, Michael Jackson and the Queen. My hour with Steve Jobs certainly made me more nervous than any of those encounters. I know what you are thinking, but it's the truth. I do believe Jobs to be a truly great figure, one of the small group of innovators who have changed the world. He exists somewhere between showman, perfectionist overseer, visionary, enthusiast and opportunist, and his insistence upon design, detail, finish, quality, ease of use and reliability are a huge part of Apple's success."

Early reviews seem to indicate it's worth all the hype. Another winner from Jobs. Loved the Colbert clip, especially the inference that cell phones can do lots of cool things but perhaps should focus on their main function! (can you hear me NOW)
