Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.More than five million digital books have been downloaded since Apple began selling the iPad tablet computer two months ago, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs said Monday.
Jobs, in a keynote speech at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) here, also said that the 8,500 applications developed for the iPad have been downloaded more than 35 million times from Apple's App Store.
Jobs, dressed in his trademark black turtleneck and blue jeans, received a standing ovation as he walked on stage to address the more than 5,200 software developers attending the conference.
Apple has sold more than two million iPads since the touchscreen device went on sale in the United States in early April and in nine other countries late last month.
