“Among the 48 [Apple analysts] we’ve heard from so far — 29 Wall Street professionals and 19 amateurs — the average estimate for fiscal Q3 iPad sales is 18.1 million,” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune.
“That would represent a paltry 6.2% growth year over year,” P.E.D. reports. “Revenue from Apple’s iTunes/Software/Services line item is growing four or five times faster than that.”
P.E.D. reports, “There is, however, considerable disagreement among the bulls and bears in our analyst pool. The high estimate of 22 million iPads, submitted by independent Paul Reina of the Braeburn Group, would represent a yearly growth rate of nearly 30%. The low estimate of 13.5 million from Pacific Crest’s Andy Hargreaves is 21% below last year’s sales.”

But John – you need to be on a 5 whats wrong with you!!! 😉
I think 22 million is still too low. The iPad mini is selling like hot cakes. 23 million is my guess.
Show the data that supports the Mini selling like hot cakes. Based on extrapolation from last quarters, it is NOT selling well.
I have no data. I’m not an analyst. I’m basing my opinion on what I have seen over the last few months at the downtown Philadelphia store, the King of Prussia store, and the Cherry Hill New Jersey store. I’ve seen a lot of people walk out with iPad mini boxes and (surprisingly) a lot of iMac boxes. However, I haven’t been back to any of them since WWDC to see how the new MacBook Air is faring.
That’s one opinion among many assholes. And, you know, opinions are like assholes – everyone has one!
