You realize that the above report was based on 'real facts', real sale numbers, which, naturally, would accelerate, as previeous histroy has already proven, once the iPad 3 hit the market with its super hi-res displays would natural increase?
No. The 'real facts' you mention are past facts. This is a future projection done by a market analyst company that decided to ignore Apple's own position on the iPad market and classify it as a PC. It is also nothing more than futurology based on a prediction and an announced product with no release date and no specs data.
It also assumes that the rest of the world will just wait holding their breath and doing nothing, not presenting their own growth or drop figures.
"Real Facts" are much, much more than futurology, You should do well heeding to this advice. Especially -- and I mean especially! -- when dealing with market analysts projections in an industry like the tech industry. In case you forgot, some 5 years ago every single one of them was wrong about Apple future and you were ignoring their projections as ridiculous and shallow.
As far as Apple's massive piggy bank, the tech's largest, (and second to General Electric for any type of company), well whats your problem with that, don't like the facts? Here, don't take my word on it
Maybe you misunderstood what I said... No, you misunderstood what I said.
