Apple sells 300K iPads on first day

Apple said it sold 300,000 iPad tablets on the gadget's first day of availability, but analysts remain divided on the device's prospects.

Apple said its first-day sales figure of 300,000 includes pre-ordered iPads, deliveries to channel partners and sales at Apple's own retail stores. The company began selling the WiFi-only version of the iPad this weekend; the version with 3G service from AT&T Mobility will go on sale later this month.
