“The tablet, if on sale by the end of March, will deliver a 2% increase in sales next year, writes Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray in a note today,” Yarow reports. “Munster estimates Apple will sell 1.4 million units at an average of $600 per device in 2010.”
Yarow reports, “Munster also thinks that Apple might use a January event to show off a revamped Apple TV — including a subscription TV show service — and a new iPod Touch with a video camera.”

MacDailyNews Take: We fail to see even a shred of credibility in any “Apple tablet” unit sales estimate at this time. It’s premature prognostication. Munster should have held off of unit predictions until the device is unveiled, if it is unveiled, and we can see the specs, features, connected services, and the retail price. In any case, barring a screwup of Microsoftian proportions, Munster’s estimate sounds ridiculously low. Maybe it was a typo and he meant 1.4 million units in the first quarter of availability? Or 14 million for ¾ths of the year? That seems quite feasible; after all, Apple did sell over 1 million iPhone 3GS units in its first three days on the market.

“Apple could sell 1.4 million $600 tablets in 2010”
Hypothetically, couldn’t they sell billions or trillions of anything that doesn’t officially exist?
@ Answer this please,

Looks like you came to the right place.
@ Ampar,
“Hypothetically, couldn’t they sell billions or trillions of anything that doesn’t officially exist?”
Only to hypothetical people using hypothetical credit cards.

Kant remember exactly but I think that’s why I opened a savings account at the First Nationally Accepted Bank of Epistemology.
Evidentially, they ration accounts by a priori-ty.
