On Friday shoppers waited on line outside the 14th Street Apple store in Manhattan to purchase the new iPad 3G. Apple on Monday announced that it has sold one million iPads as of Friday last week, a faster sales pace than the iPhone.
Apple also said users have downloaded more than 12 million applications from the iTunes app store and that 1.5 million books have been downloaded through Apple’s iBookstore. The iBookstore sells books only for the iPAd, but Apple said it expected to sell books for the iPhone later this year.
Apple also said that there are now 5,000 iPad specific apps available for the device. The top-selling application in the App Store have remained relatively unchanged since the device went on sale last month. Currently Apple’s own productivity suite including Pages, Numbers and Keynote, all analogous to Microsoft’s Office products, remain the top grossing Apps along with the games Pinball, Real Racing HD and Scrabble.
