Datamonitor: iPad: Apple takes a bite of the e-books market Jan 28, 2010 – By Adam Leach
Yesterday Apple launched its much anticipated tablet device, the iPad, and
with it Steve Jobs proclaimed that Apple was now a mobile device company.
Apple hopes to kick-start the market for e-books with its iPad and iBookstore
service, and replicate its success with the iPod and iTunes. However, like
the iPhone, the key to the iPad’s success will be the value added by
the enthusiastic community of Apple developers.
