Many have said (iPad) is the most successful consumer product ever launched" These numbers are for "consumer products" Most if not all the major competitors have both a consumer and business lines of products. I ate at a restaurant that used HP iPAQ Pocket PC a few years back to take orders. It was not a "consumer market" device. Before the iPad there wasn't much of a "consumer market" for the product.

Uh, an article I just read said that a large percentage of the iPads sold were sold to government and Enterprise ... that makes them not consumer products... the iPad is a business tool now, as well as a consumer device. Better than 80% of the fortune 500 are either deploying them or piloting programs to deploy them. Some are buying them by the thousands.
