I'm looking for sales figures in number of units or in dollars for the
Seiko SmartPad or for the Logitech IO, with numbers not older than 24
months.  I'll pay $20 for either number, $40 for both, and if you
can't find it exactly but can justify a good guess, I'll accept that. 
I don't care if it's 2002 actual, or 2003 projections -- there's some
wiggle room here.

Hello.

As of July 2003, Logitech had sold about 30,000 IOs.

Source:
From a Chief Executive magazine article about Logitech CEO Guerrino
DeLuca:

"When DeLuca looks at one of their newest designs, the Io Digital Pen,
he sees beauty in its simplicity, but also room for improvement. The
cigar-sized pen is meant for people with jobs that require lots of
note-taking. It uses an optical sensor to record handwriting as you
scribble on paper. After, you stick the pen in a cradle and download
whatever you’ve written to your computer. Logitech has sold about
30,000 of the $200 pens, mostly to early adopters who have to get
their hands on cool stuff first."

This 30,000 figure represents about six months worth of IO sales
because Logitech began selling the IO in November 2002.

I hope this helps.

I'm not sure how scarce this information really is, so it may be that
this is actually a five star answer.  Anyway, nice job, and thanks.
