5 Million Books Downloaded For iPad So Far
In just two months since Apple Inc’s iPad tablet computer hit the market, more than five million digital books have been downloaded, according to Apple chief executive Steve Jobs on Monday.
Jobs said in a keynote speech at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference that 8,500 applications also developed for the iPad have been downloaded more than 35 million times from the company’s App store.
More than two million iPads have been sold since the tablet computer went on sale in the United States in early April and nine other countries last month, according to Apple figures.
Jobs received a standing ovation as he walked on stage to address the more than 5,200 software developers at the conference where he also unveiled the next generation Apple iPhone.
