Apple announced the sale of their one millionth iPad on Friday, that is,  just after four weeks of its launch on April 3^rd. According to Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs, a whopping number of 300,000 iPads were sold within twenty four hours of the launch.

The ongoing trend suggests that Apple’s sale should smoothly hit a one million mark every month and possibly much more once the iPad bangs the international market. The press affirmed yesterday that the App Store now has 200,000 apps, with the number shooting up from 185,000 as recorded three weeks ago. Approximately fourteen million eBooks and apps have been downloaded from the iBookstore and App Store respectively on the iPad, which denotes around fourteen downloads per month per device. The gigantic sales figure conclusively envisions an era of portable keyboard-less elegant computing devices.

The launch of the iPad has spurred an old debate – Which is better, Ajax or Flex. The fact that iPad does not support Flash has not only stirred the dormant argument, but also brought up questions about the future of RIA technology.

Both the technologies are essentially different with a distinct set of strengths and weaknesses. Experts suggest that Apple’s decision has nothing to do with the merit of any technology in particular.

About Flex: Back in 2004, Adobe launched Flex software development kit to create Rich Internet Applications. Adobe’s Flex is a framework that lets a programmer compile an XML based ActionScript into a Flash SWT file. Adobe’s Flash is a widely accepted tool for refreshing websites, appending features like animation and games. However, Flash requires the browser to install the Flash plug-in. This can slow down your system and use more resources than using the native browser JavaScript support.

About AJAX: AJAX is a methodology for producing RIAs. It is normally used on top of web pages to add functionalities like pop ups and shadow boxes, and smart features like drag-and-drop. AJAX is definitely more popular due to its search engine friendly attribute and no Plug-in requirement.
