Apple on Thursday lifted the veil on its plans to remake the educational landscape in a way that centers on its best-selling tablet computer, the iPad. "Education is deep in Apple's DNA and iPad may be our most exciting education product yet," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of marketing, said in a statement.

Apple says sold 1 million iPads

Apple Inc on Monday said it sold one million iPads in its first 28 days, and users of the tablet computer have already downloaded 12 million apps and 1.5 million digital books.

Senh: Amazing. Looks like another Steve Jobs product, which innitially garnered unfavorable reviews by the tech industry, is selling really well. You have to give it to the guy. He's able to combine two existing products - netbooks and tablet computers - and turn it into a must-have product. Overall, there are probably more netbook sales than iPads, but it definitely beats sales of existing tablet computers. The iPad is essentially the Mac's version of a netbook, and it has its advantages - multitouch, portable, thin, and thousands of apps. If you already own a netbook, you have no use for it, but if you don't already own a netbook, then it's a nice alternative. Like what Jobs did with the iPhone, you can expect other computer makers to come out with their own versions of the iPad.
