Apple kicked off WWDC in a big way with 5,200 attendees who snagged all the tickets in a mere two hours. Unlike previous years, Jobs dove right into Mac OS X Lion without his traditional summary of the amazing things Apple has done. We watched the live stream like a hawk and gleaned out the pertinent stats that show how well Apple is performing across its product groups. Here's what we learned from Jobs and company:
- 54 million Mac users worldwide
- Mac grew 28% while PC market shrank 1%
- Mac sales are 73% notebooks, 27% desktops.
- Mac App Store is now the #1 PC software channel over Best Buy and Walmart
- Pixelmator made $1 million in its first 20 days, quadrupling its revenue.
- over 200 million iOS devices sold
- more than 44% of installed mobile user base
- 25 million iPads in first 14 months
- 15 billion songs sold in the iTunes store
- #1 music retailer in the world
- iBookstore downloads topped 130 million; six publishers on board
- 425,000 apps in the App Store; 90,00 are for the iPad
- 14 billion apps downloaded from the App Store
- Apple paid out more than US$2.5 billion to devs
- 225 million iTunes accounts
- 50 million Game Center users
- iPhone 4 is number two camera, not just smartphone camera, but camera on Flickr
Not too shabby for a company long considered the underdog.
