It's hard to believe that it's already been one full year since Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad in San Francisco on Jan. 27, 2010.
It's even harder to believe that Apple has already sold some 15 million iPads, representing more than $10 billion in revenue.
Jobs' iPad unveil wasn't his greatest keynote of all time -- that's when he first introduced the iPhone in 2007. But it improves with age!
For all the skepticism about the iPad, including ours, it's hard not to be impressed with how right Apple was that there was a market for a third category of device between the iPhone and MacBook.
Steve Jobs takes the stage at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, to much applause. He says: We want to kick off 2010 by introducing a truly magical and revolutionary product today.
But before we get to that, a few updates. 250 millionth iPod sold a few weeks ago. 284 retail stores with 50 million visitors during holiday quarter. 3 billion apps downloaded. (Now 10 billion!)
We started Apple in 1976. 34 years later, ended holiday quarter with $15.6 billion of revenue. "I don't even believe that."
