Apple Demo Crashes: 570 Wi-Fi Networks Live in the Room
Sign of the times: Apple demo crashes. Attendees told to shut everything off. Why? "There are 570 Wi-Fi base stations operating in this room...That’s why our demo crashed.”
But the iPad updates are pretty amazing. About two million iPads were sold in the first 59 days (one every 3 seconds).
Some 35 million apps have been downloaded, about 17 per iPad.
Five of six biggest book publishers say the share of iPad e-books is 22 percent of all ebook sales in the first eight weeks.
There’s now more than 225,000 applications in the App Store and there have been five billion downloads.
About 15,000 apps are submitted every week, and 95 percent are approved in seven days.
