Still, 3.5 million is plenty good. And iPad cannibalization looks to be minimal (<14%)
BTW, that article has otherwise been right on the money; they predicted 3G readers hitting $199 and WiFi readers hitting $149 back in January. |
Forrester, however, has been pretty far off the mark-in June, they estimated 3.5 million tablets (including the iPad) for the US in
all of 2010.
