Two iPads per Person per Lifetime??
IT PINOYs will be surprised to know this – it appears you can only own two iPads in your lifetime!
Peter Ha of TechLand went on telling this story:
“While waiting for the next available register, I overheard one of the sales associates telling a woman who wanted to purchase two 64GB iPads that she wasn’t allowed to. Why? Because she had already purchased two iPads from the 5th Avenue store an hour earlier:
‘You’re only allowed to purchase two iPads in your lifetime, ma’am.’“

Apple iPad Sale Slows Down
ITPINOYs and the tech world were probably not too surprised that last friday’s release of apple ipad was insanely successful – imagine this, apple has sold 51k units in just two hours and wounded up selling around 120k units on the same day it was made online!
the rush however seems to have simmered down as reports have shown a steady drop of sales over the weekend.
some attributed this to reports like how apple is planning to treat battery failures (they will just replace the whole unit for $99), it also includes a text-to-speech tool (which caused legal issues with amazon), and that it’s 3G edition does not require a service contract (instead allows users to pay $4.99/mo for 250MB data or $29.99/mo for an unlimited deal).
