CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA (BNO NEWS) — Apple announced on Monday that it sold its one millionth iPad on Friday, just 28 days after its introduction on April 3.

The California-based company said iPad users have already downloaded over 12 million apps from the App Store and over 1.5 million ebooks from the new iBookstore.

According to Apple, developers have created over 5,000 new apps for iPad. iPad will run almost all of the more than 200,000 apps on the App Store, including apps already purchased for your iPhone or iPod touch.

“One million iPads in 28 days—that’s less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Demand continues to exceed supply and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.”
