For the first quarter of its fiscal 2011, which ended last December 25, 2010, Apple posted a record revenue of $26.74 billion and record net quarterly profit of $6 billion. This puts the value of of Apple’s stocks per diluted share to $6.54.

There you go. After becoming the all time fastest selling gadget (as announced by Bernstein Research financial analyst Colin McGranahan), Apple will carry the iPad momentum to the store shelves of AT&T and Verizon Wireless.

The iPad has certainly left its mark on the tech industry and changed the way people access the web and their digital life.

According to information out of Cupertino, Apple sold around 300,000 iPads this Saturday, launch day.This number includes preorders as well as iPads sold at the stores. Despite the device receiving glowing reviews from various sources around the internet, this number is much lower than anticipated by some analysts. Furthermore, news of the sales numbers caused Apple’s shares to drop.

According to a specific analyst group, Apple may have sold a nicely sized 120,000 iPad units on the first day of pre-orders.

Basically, Apple sells about 16,500 orders a day online, but managed to sell about 124,596 on the day of the iPad preorder. Considering that about 1.11 iPads were ordered per customer, we come up with a number around 120,000.
