Trivia Question Answer!

Last week I posed the Trivia Question - If you were to fully charge your iPad-3 every other day for a year, how much would it cost?

And this week, the answer - $1.36

Congrats to the Anonymous guest for their exact answer!

Our friends at the Edison Power Research Institute conducted a study in their labs to find the iPad-3 uses about 11.9kWh a year, charged every other day.  And that iPhone3G of yours consumes around 25 cents per year.

Even though these are small figures, it’s important to keep in mind the aggregate of having so many iPads and iPhones purchased and charging.

So far, there have been over 67 Million iPads sold, wow!
