AppleInsider reveals:
Apple jumps past Motorola to become biggest US phone maker
Motorola announced sales of 8.5 million phones in its spring quarter, dropping it below Apple’s record sales of 8.8 million iPhones and vaulting the Mac maker into position as America’s top phone manufacturer.
Apple announces iPad sales top 1 million in less than a month
“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, in a statement released Monday. “Demand continues to exceed supply and we’re working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers.”
In several group discussions at the Educause 2009 conference in Denver last November there were still many who questioned the wisdom of choosing the iPhone as the platform for a mobile learning initiative. Perhaps now with Apple taking the lead in smartphone sales and the recent success of the iPad these questions will not be as significant and we can focus more time in your discussion on how we can use mobile devices to enhance learning.
