1.5 iPads Sold Every Second Since Launch In April 2010

This was a stat we picked up from Apple's new products event today. Made us stop and think. That is a huge, huge number. 170 Million! How do we digest a number like that?

The first iPad was released on April 3, 2010. So Apple has been selling iPads for 1306 days now. 170 Million iPads gives us an average of 90 iPads, every minute!

Digest that!!
