Apple isn't betting the future on iPad so much as it is on iOS. Until 2001 Apple as known as a computer company. By 2006 it had become the iPod/iTunes company that also made computers. Now Apple is pretty much the iOS company that sells iPods and oh yeah, some computers.
I would say that iOS is to Apple as Windows is to Microsoft-its the core of the company ( no pun intended) . Apple's future is tied up with the success of the iOS platform and the associated devices. While the iPhone and the iPad are key right now, the future may belong to Apple TV. While I doubt we'll see an apple TV SET, I think we will see a big move to Apple bringing the Ios experience to our current TV sets, with Apple TV as the spearhead . The next year will see Apple make major moves towards that, IMO.
