Apple Event By the Numbers: 200 Million iTunes Accounts, 15 Million iPads in 9 Months

We’re here live at the Apple event and Steve Jobs had some pretty hefty numbers to share. What did he emphasize most? The huge advantage the iPad has over competing platforms when it comes to apps. He also took a thinly veiled shot at the Xoom, pointing out that the iPad beats Motorola’s tablet and other slates on price.

• 100 million books sold in one year (Random House now on board)
• Recently surpassed 200 million accounts
• Apple has paid out over $2 billion to developers thus far
• Recently shipped 100 millionth iPhone
• 15 million iPads sold in 2010 (more than every Tablet PC ever sold), $9.5 billion in revenue in 9 months
• More than 65,000 apps available for the iPad (vs. maybe 100 for Android 3.0)
