Thats way too many. Imagine that they do not sell, then what?

There is a recession going on and tablets are not proven to be very commercially viable.

Tablets have not proven successful in the past because the interface wasn't quite there to make it a viable device.

But now with the success of the iPhone OS used on the iPhone and iPod touch, we finally have a really viable touchscreen computer interface for the first time. And computing power has caught up with the latest low-power consumption ARM processors (ARM11), which means the rumored Apple iSlate will be powerful enough to not only to Internet access, but also play back videos as high as 720p (1280x720) resolution cleanly. In short, the iSlate will combine the functions of an Internet access device, media player and e-book reader into a singular device with a really viable interface for the first time.
