What surprises me about this is the reaction to the leak.
If the leak were about Apple, there's a vocal group that would be defending the leakers as doing the right thing, like they did something moral, and decrying Apple's efforts to keep things secret.
With Google, again there seems to be some sense of entitlement to internal Google emails, products and decisions, although the detractors aren't quite as fervent as they are in Google's case.
But Amazon? For some reason everyone seems to be all over whoever leaked this screenshot of an internal tool.
Why the double standard?
As for the numbers themselves, they look positive but not mind-blowing. This probably translates to selling 1M+ at launch, which is a good, solid start. I own an iPad 2 and am tempted to get one of these anyway, just as an impulse buy.

- aphexairlines 15y agoThat sounds about right. I don't want to lose access to these great tools. I don't want the lockdown trend to continue here. I don't want it to be more difficult to make sure my corner of the retail site works well with Silk if I can no longer browse through its source code.
- Retric 15y agoWell if it was sustained it would be 2k / hour = 48k / day = ~1.4 million a month which is a little below the iPad but no that far. However, most likely it's an early peak which is far less impressive. Edit: For comparison iPad sold ~2million a month for 12 months. http://ipod.about.com/od/ipadmodelsandterms/f/ipad-sales-to-date.htm http://ipod.about.com/od/ipadmodelsandterms/f/ipad-sales-to-...
