Apple’s iPad promises to become the “magical and revolutionary product” of 2010. The long-expected touch-screen tablet device is becoming a sensation before it’s released for sale. It occurred that the preorders of the device are “hundreds of thousands”. According to The Wall Street Journal material if this keeps up, Apple could end up selling more iPads in the first three months than original iPhones sold the first three months after its debut those sources.

It's still not clear if that means actual sales only, or if that includes reservations for in-store pickups of the device. Apple.com is taking reservations for customers who want to pick up a device in a store on the first day of sale, April 3, but it doesn't require a credit card to be put down. It means that if they don't pick up the device by 3 p.m. that day the iPad reservation is canceled. In other words, a reservation should not yet be counted as a sale, but again it's not entirely clear how the iPad presales are being counted.

Besides all the expected sales profit, iPad will give Apple the chance to make some really successful deals. According to The Wall Street Journal sources in the moment Apple negotiates with a few media companies to make discounts for streaming some TV shows via iTunes. A partnership between Apple and some newspaper and publishers which up to know have been put aside for other formats of media content presentation. Besides content, some accessories for the touch-screen device are also a little behind schedule.
