Goldman really likes its new iPad. IPad Sales Expected to Reach 7M in 2010, 20M By 2012. A day before Apple officially launches sales of the iPad, a new report predicts the Cupertino, Calif. company could sell 7 million of the tablet devices in 2010 and see demand double and triple over the next two years.
Although the 7 million figure is just the latest to surpass Wall Street expectations, researchers Friday termed the number “conservative.” The researchers at iSuppli expect 14.4 million iPads will sell in 2011 and 20.1 million in 2012. Although initial sales will again be driven by first-adopters, researchers see future demand propelled by a growing base of applications, greater features and potentially lower prices. The iSuppli numbers follow a report by analyst Gene Munster, who told investors earlier this week he expects 2.7 million iPads will sell in 2010 and 900,000 just in the June quarter. iPad is Apple’s Third Biggest Segment Business Insider reports: In the June quarter, the iPad business generated $2.2 billion of revenue for Apple.
That’s more than Apple’s iPod business generated last quarter — $1.5 billion. (Though the cheaper iPod obviously had larger unit sales.) And it’s almost half as big as Apple’s 26-year-old Mac business, which put in its best quarter ever at $4.4 billion.

Are you an Apple bull looking for even more ammunition to bolster your faith in the company? Barclays Capital has you covered. In a report today the research shop predicts that: Tablets computers, a category that didn’t really exist until this spring, will be here to stay;Apple (AAPL) is going to own most of that market for years to come;This is yet more bad news for Microsoft (MSFT) and its Windows franchise, as well as PC manufacturers like Dell, in particular.
All points you’ve probably thought of before, if you’re the aforementioned Apple bull. But here are some numbers to chew on. That consumers will buy 15 million tablets this year and 28 million in 2011, and that Apple will hold onto a 75 percent market share next year;That the rise of tablets will indeed cut into PC sales, primarily in the netbook/notebook market–enough that Barclays is cutting its PC sales growth estimate for 2010 from 21 percent to 19 percent (still, as Steve Ballmer would say, 19 percent!). Apple's iPad nabs Netbook market share. The iPad is starting to grab market share from Netbooks, a trend that may not bode well for these small laptops, according to a report from DisplaySearch on Tuesday.
"It appears that the momentum is shifting from mini-note PCs to slates," market researcher DisplaySearch said in a note. Netbooks are small, lightweight laptops, typically powered by an Intel Atom processor. Netbooks are also referred to as "mini-notes. " In the first quarter of this year, Apple shipped almost 700,000 iPads into the channel, accounting for 6.5 percent of all mini-note PCs/slates and in the first two months of the second quarter Apple sold more than 2 million iPads, DisplaySearch said.
iPad Enters the Market Share Scene: Report. Web metrics firm Net Applications has been tracking the iPad since its launch, and after 10 days the trend is clear.
The iPad will soon account for one twentieth of one percent of the overall OS market. If that sounds infinitesimal, it is, and yet according to Net Applications the iPad now roughly equals the BlackBerry in market share. However, it’s important to remember that Net Applications data is drawn from some 160 million visitors per month to a worldwide network of sites, rather than counting unit sales. That means it’s not market share so much as web share, which explains how the iPad caught the BlackBerry so quickly. Despite having sold tens of millions of more units, browsing the web on a BlackBerry is painful experience, while the iPad makes it sublime.
