Apple Bullet Points

Just a quick entry today with some interesting bullet points from Apple's 4th Quarter Earnings Call. (Read some of the notes taken from TechCrunch)

- Apple is shipping more iPads than Macs.
- For the entire year, they have sold 40 million iPhones and 7.5 million iPads.
- There are over 30,000 iPad applications available.
- Steve Jobs doesn't like 7" tablets, which means the rumored iPad Mini is most likely nonexistent. Says Jobs, "The reason we wouldn’t make a 7-inch tablet isn’t because we wouldn’t want to hit a certain price point, we just think it’s too small for the software." Boo.

Anyway, some interesting bullet points, not only for those who are thinking of implementing iPads into the archives/special collections, but also for those who are digitizing collections to be put on the Web. Mobile sites formatted for iPhones or other devices are becoming more essential. Just look at those numbers!
