The company’s stores in major U.S. cities had sold out of the updated tablet device within hours of its introduction at 5 p.m. local time Friday, according to surveys by analysts.

Analysts put sales of the new iPad in the range of 400,000 to 600,000 units during its first three days on the market, about the same range as the original model sold in its first week. Apple hasn’t disclosed any sales figures yet.

The PC giant Hewlett-Packard has accused Blackberry mobile maker Research In Motion (RIM) of copying its tablet TouchPad UI. According to HP, RIM’s PlayBook tablet uses some of the design elements first seen in Palm’s WebOS.
RIM’s tablet which is set to hit the market before HP’s competing tablet TouchPad, reportedly uses the fast app switching which has been a hallmark of WebOS since it debuted on smartphones. Both tablets are believed to manage apps as cards, allowing users to swipe between them as they run in the background. The two tablets also reportedly have similar swipe gestures, allowing users to swipe apps off the screen.

If you liked the looks of the aluminum Joule iPad stand from ElementCASE (reviewed by Julie last year) but couldn’t justify the high price, take a look at the Nantucket iPad Stand from Levenger. The Nantucket iPad Stand is made of solid bamboo, and it’s 7.75? long with a 2? diameter. There’s only a single hole for the bamboo peg, so the iPad will be held at only one angle. However, it can hold the iPad in either the horizontal or vertical position. As you can see from the picture, it can work with other devices, like a Kindle. It comes with a travel pouch. The Nantucket iPad Stand is $25 from Levenger.
