I agree Pat. The issue is saturation, and it's more costly to buy an iPad than a phone.

I use my own iPad more every day so I disagree with the author.  I'm one of those nuts that want the latest offering so I pass each previous model down to my daughter who REALLY enjoys that arrangement!  Here are Tim Cook's comments from today's earnings call:


• Cook: iPad has a very, very bright future
• Cook: I think the partnership with IBM is profound. We are going to change how people work.
• Cook: iPad upgrade cycle is longer than an iPhone. Perhaps in between and iPhone and a Mac. Still too early to say for sure.
• Cook: I believe that over the long arc of time, iPad is a very strong market
• Cook: iPad customer sat is off the charts. 100% in some surveys. Unheard of.
• Cook: 1st time iPad purchaser rates are very high; so no saturated market
• Cook: In the short run, I don't think you're going to see a miraculous change YOY
• Cook: I am very optimistic and bullish on iPad over the long run
