Do you think the pace of technological change is speeding up a bit on you?
This chart from our friends at Silicon Alley Insider, reveals a stunning fact. The IPad business has become almost the same size at the Mac Computer business for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). That means the IPad took nine months to reach the same sales level that the Mac computer took 27 years to reach.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) sold 14.8 million IPads in 2010, with almost half of that coming in the last quarter, accounting for $4.6 million in revenue in that quarter along. Mac computers, which had their best quarter ever during that same quarter, took in $5.4 billion.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) in total took in $26.7 billion in revenue last quarter, a mere 71% increase over the prior year.
