Amaya Toman Today we will remember the day when the number of downloaded applications, designed exclusively for iPad, crossed the hundred thousand mark. These days, this number probably surprises few people, but not long after the release of the first ever iPad, it was a respectable performance.

On June 30, 2011, Apple celebrated another important milestone. It was then that she managed to overcome the magical threshold of hundreds of thousands of applications sold exclusively for the iPad in the App Store. This happened just over a year after the first generation iPad was officially launched. The milestone nicely capped off a stellar first year for Apple's long-awaited tablet, where the company managed to prove, among other things, that its iPad really is more than just a "grown-up iPhone."

By the time the iPad was released, Apple already had enough strong evidence of the great importance and importance of apps for this device. When the first iPhone was released, Steve Jobs first protested against the ability to download third-party applications, and Phil Schiller and Art Levinson in particular had to fight with all their might for the introduction of the App Store. Apple introduced its iPhone SDK on March 6, 2008, roughly nine months after the introduction of the first iPhone. Apple began accepting applications a few months later, and when the App Store launched in July 2008, it recorded a record ten million downloads within the first 72 hours of its launch.
When the first iPad went on sale, it was practically a bandwagon as far as the App Store was concerned. In March 2011, the number of downloads of applications intended for the iPad exceeded 75, and in June Apple already hit a six-digit number. Developers who missed their opportunity at the launch of the iPhone wanted to make the most of the arrival of the first iPad. Currently, you can find hundreds of thousands of applications in the App Store, designed exclusively for iPads, while Apple tries to promote some models of its tablets as platforms for professional applications.
