All we can do is project when speaking of the future.

You seem to have some reason to believe that this initial sales spike is going to continue unabated at current levels for the foreseeable future - at least for the next 18 months or so - care to share?
Yes, I think that the sales of the iPad are increasing from launch, they haven't dropped a bit. I think a million units of month is going to be sustainable. That leads to something close to 20 million ipads by the end of next year.

Then there are the forthcoming Android tablets....not to mention phones with larger screens like the 5inch Dell Streak.

It's seeing the writing on the wall that has Amazon, B&N and Sony dropping their prices. And there's more price dropping ahead. If not by this Christmas, then next, we'll have $100 eink readers from these major companies.
