A pair of new surveys from ChangeWave show that demand for the iPad has grown since the device hit the market in early April, while 91 percent of those who already bought one are satisfied with their purchase.
The results of the two surveys conducted in May were revealed Thursday by ChangeWave. One polled 3,174 consumers to measure future demand for the iPad, while a second survey of 153 new iPad owners set out to discover their impressions of the device.
In the larger study of general consumers, 7 percent of respondents said they are "very likely" to buy an iPad, while another 13 percent said they are "somewhat likely." That’s the highest level of consumer interest ChangeWave has seen in the iPad to date.
In February, a previous survey from the same company found that 4 percent of respondents were "very likely" to buy, and 9 percent said they were "somewhat likely." While those numbers were lower than the current totals, they were also higher than the pre-release demand for the iPhone based on a 2007 survey.
Among those polled in ChangeWave’s May survey, 245 identified themselves as currently owning an e-reader. Among those, 62 percent currently have an Amazon Kindle, versus 16 percent for the iPad — just weeks after the hardware’s release.
A major change from the February survey came in the form of content read on e-readers. The introduction of the iPad resulted in spikes of newspaper, magazine and blog reading on portable e-readers. Both online newspaper and magazine reading were up 7 percent, while blogs increased 1 percent.

Listen up, geography buffs! Voon has just introduced a new game for the iPad called Place Map HD. You will be given an overhead view of a famous landmark somewhere around the world and it is up to you to locate it on the map. Do you think you can?
Review
Place Map HD is a unique geography game. It provides you with 100 places that you must find on a world map. First you will be given an overhead shot of a specified landmark and its surrounding areas. Then tap on the locate button and you will be provided a world map. From here, using the double tap or pinch/zoom gesture, zoom in to the exact location on the map where you believe that landmark is situated.
Scoring is determined by the speed, proximity of your answer and whether or not hints were used to solve it. If you don’t have any clue where that landmark is located, you can ask for hints; you have two of them. The first hint you will be provided with is the landmark’s country. If more hints are needed, the second hint provided will tell you what city it’s in.

Something is missing from the iBookstore–most of the small, independent imprints. There just wasn’t enough time for Apple to get the smaller houses on line. But that isn’t a problem for iPulpFiction.com – Where the Short Story Lives. iPulpFiction.com is a browser-based publisher of short genre fiction by a mix of best selling authors such as Ben Bova, J. A. Jance, and Pete Hautman, as well as new talent. Because iPulp’s growing catalog of more than 300 titles can be viewed in any modern browser, the iPad, with its high-resolution 9.5″ screen, is the perfect device for reading iPulp stories.
“Cheap short fiction–it’s the lifeblood of literature.” — Orson Scott Card, the Hugo Award-winning author of Ender’s Game.

One of the more impressive demonstrations at Google I/O yesterday was the digital edition of Sports Illustrated done completely in HTML5. The benefits of HTML5 are clear here. Instead of building an iPad app, an Android app, a desktop app, etc, developers build it once and users can view it anywhere. It can be cached for offline viewing as well.

In a research note released today, RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky increased his estimate of 2010 iPad sales from 5 million to 8 million, citing upcoming international launches and continued strong sales in the U.S. as evidenced by retail store shortages. For the current quarter, which runs through late June, Abramsky is predicting iPad sales in excess of 1.8 million units in the United States and an additional 600,000 in the nine new countries receiving the device on May 28th, pushing quarterly sales to 2.5 million, up from earlier estimates of 1.5 million.
Continued strong iPad sales in the U.S. are estimated in excess of 200,000 per week, nearly double that of current Mac unit sales.
Checks indicate that US iPad sales remain strong post-launch, driven by rising consumer visibility to iPad’s user experience, sustained PR/word-of-mouth marketing, 3G iPad launch, and broadening iPad apps/content. We believe Apple is now selling >200k iPads/wk, greater than US Macs (est. 110k Macs/wk) and just below US iPhone 3GS first qtr (246k/wk).
