“UBS’s Maynard Um this morning raised his estimate for the worldwide tablet computer market to 60 million units this year, up from 55 million previously,” Tiernan Ray reports for Barron’s. “However, it’s all about Apple, in his view.”
“Um’s 2011 unit forecast for Apple’s iPad rises to 39.9 million units this calendar year, from 32.3 million previously,” Ray reports. “Um’s 2012 estimate goes to 90 million units from 80 million, and 53 million of those are for the iPad, up from a prior 46 million-unit estimate.”

Um, I don’t get it…
Ridiculous, 39.9M of 60M means he thinks iPads make up only 2/3rd of the market?!? 66%?!? Is he nuts?
And, the next year, iPad is only 53M?!? That’s only 33% growth! I’d expect at least 80% growth for next year.
“UBS’s Maynard Um this morning raised his estimate…”
Hooray for Tiernan Ray who seems to understand that up is a preposition and not a verb.
When u understand that UBS stands for U Bullshit, you realize what’s going on.
I always laugh when I see “tablet market.” There is no tablet market, analysts. There is an iPad market.
The article I read went into more detail “Foxconn has created a new division to develop and manufacture the robots called Skynet. The 1st models are T100’s but the new division plans on a series of models including T800 and T1000’s. The company has received permission from Apple to use the company’s recently purchased patents in liquid metal, especially ones dealing with mimetic polyalloy.”
