"Apple has been able to generate over $75 million in revenue in one day on a product that 99.9% of purchasers haven't touched or for that matter, even seen in person," said Victor Castroll, an analyst with Valcent Financial Group. "And, we're still three weeks away. That is amazing."

And that, my friends is the true power of great Apple marketing.  Making you reach for your wallet in spite of your brain.

Victor, that number rounds up to 100% - essentially everyone who ordered an iPad has never used, touched or even seen a real one.

P.S. I bought 3! (and still giving them away for free here.)
