Apple officially announced today that that they have sold one million iPads as of Friday. The iPad reached the market in 28 days after its public launch on April 3.

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.

Over 12 million apps have been downloaded by iPad users along with over 1.5 million ebooks from the new iBookstore. Over 5,000 apps have been created specifically for the iPad, with nearly 200,000 other apps on the App Store also compatible with the tablet device.
