If you review what Microsoft has been doing all years, They have given minor improvements and mostly degradation while launching the new windows OS year after year and 80% of the customers always lapped it up in first year of release itself.
Apple announced a new OS for the iPad 2 ,, and they have better following then Microsoft so not only i expect 80% of the current iPad2 users to upgrade but several new customers to join in.. sales by dec 31st for ipad 1 was 15million.. i expect it to be above 30million this year.
Also look at what Intel had been doing all these year, they had been release new CPUs mostly twice as fast and again 80% of the customers would upgrade irrespective of any other improvements.. Same is the case fo iPad2, it has Dual core CPUs 2X faster .. in addition 9X faster graphics.. and addition of cameras, and much better following then intel.
Surely there will be atleast 2X improvement in adoption of iPad
Also not after this increase iPad is not just a low end tablet between Smartphone and a Laptop, but its directly challenging the laptop more closely. Netbook Market will crash and shift completely to iPad2 (or similar devices), Secondly even many Laptop users will prefer iPad2 as a alternative. Thirdly many non PC/laptop users already find iPad amazing and will buy it.. All this show that iPad2 shall surely cross 30million sales figures.
iPad not only did improvements in the OS and hardware but also provide software like Video Editing & Music composing and editing along with facetime and photobooth improvements. Hence unlike Microsoft & Intel improvements without much benefit to end users they have given new dimension to iPad as not just for viewing content like photos/videos/music but also create and edit them.
Apple is also promoting iPad for the Business, if such adoption come then about 10 million additional sales are easily possible.
