iPad Sales Could Rocket up to 7 Million — This Year

Posted 02 April 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | No Comments

As we’ve clearly mentioned in the past, analysts remarks are becoming somewhat old, and we can’t help but feel like we’re beating a dead horse here. Especially the ones saying that the iPad isn’t going to do well. At this point, we figure we can go ahead and count those “conservative” reports right out of [...]

Steve Jobs Takes TIME Cover, Analysts Still Trying to Guess iPad Sales

Posted 01 April 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | No Comments

Steve Jobs is on the cover of TIME Magazine, and we’re not at all shocked. There’s no doubt that the iPad is a success. There’s also no doubt that the co-founder of the Cupertino-based company deserves to grace the cover of TIME Magazine, just off general principle. Of course, the publication focuses on the Apple [...]

iPad Sales Estimates Wrong?

Posted 16 March 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | No Comments

We’re going to have to assume that being an analyst has to be one of the hardest jobs in the world. After all, you have to look at all that data, make a guess about what’s happening in the market based on that data, and then you have to present it to the world in [...]

After Hitting 120,000 iPads Sold, Sales Started to Slow

Posted 16 March 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | 1 Comment

According to members at Investor Village, it seems that the immediate and intense rush of iPad pre-orders suddenly dropped off. Not to a stop, but slow enough that it became noticeable to pretty much everyone. Of course, there’s no one out there that would argue with the numbers, or say that the iPad wasn’t a [...]

Apple On Track to Build 5 Million iPads in First Half of the Year

After the iPad met with an official release date, the rumors about its manufacturing delayed kind of died down. Not completely, but close enough. And now we’re looking at something completely different. In fact, these numbers are pretty big, and we’re hoping that if they are indeed the case, the demand for the Apple tablet [...]

It’s that time again. We hope you’re comfortable. This last week has been quite the interesting one, and we can’t wait to get into the thick of things with you. After all, with you by our side, we surely can’t get lost within the mess of analysts, complications, delays, announcements, and whatever else may lay [...]

Did Software Hold the iPad Back From the Expected Launch Date?

We’ve been following it. You’ve been following it. We’ve all been following it. As we rode the roller-coaster that was the expected launch date of the Apple tablet. Sure, everything was heresy and rumors, but more often than not a rumor turns out to be true in some fashion or another. Not this time. What [...]

Second Analyst to Report iPad Delays

Posted 04 March 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | 2 Comments

This should should familiar. On Monday, we covered a story where an analyst had come forward to project that Apple was suffering from manufacturing delays. While these were “unknown in source,” the end result was the same: lower numbers for initial sales. So low, in fact, that the initial analyst report had it pegged at [...]

Based on Sales, iPad Pricing Could Take a Dive

Posted 08 February 2010 | By Evan Selleck | Categories: archive | 3 Comments

Back in 2007, the iPhone was originally going for $599. That is, until people got up-in-arms about the whole thing, and Apple realized that dropping the price would mean more sales. For most people, the desire alone doesn’t mean they’ll pull the trigger on a purchase, especially if they think the price is way too [...]
