When Apple transitioned to talk about the future of the iPad it began with some stats. Such as there has been over 170 million iPads sold and that there is now up to 475,000 iPad apps on the App Store. And Apple made sure to bring across that these are apps that are not stretched out smartphone apps like a lot of competitors are doing.
After that it was on to a video showcasing what people are doing with the iPad and then the future of the iPad.
