Let them fix this first.
It seems that all the other analysts out there have recognized the huge success of Apple and the iPad. LOL ... There's always the "grousers" around, but they are those old-geezers anyway that don't count for anything. At least we can see how others, put it all "into perspective" -- a huge success... :-)

Here's another way to put Apple's iPad opening weekend in perspective: Apple has already sold more iPad units than Palm sold of its flagship Pre smartphone last quarter.
Apple sold 300,000 iPads on the first day and more sold on Sunday -- and and a bunch of iPad 3G tablets have been pre-ordered. For comparison, Palm sold 408,000 smartphones during its February quarter, across both the Pre and Pixi.
Meanwhile, the iPad already likely has more apps than the Palm Pre, too. As of last night, there were already roughly 3,300 iPad apps available for download, according to Lazard Capital analyst Colin Sebastian. During Palm's earnings call last month, the company said it had "over 2,000" apps available for its WebOS App Catalog. Unless that number has since skyrocketed, the iPad appears to be out in front.
On one hand, that's because it was relatively easy for developers to port their iPhone apps over to the iPad. But on the other hand, WebOS's super-simple HTML- and CSS-based app architecture was supposed to make it easy to develop zillions of apps for WebOS devices, too. That simply hasn't happened.
Apple market share: less than 4% after 30 years of selling PC’s
Lenovo and Acer came from nowhere and clobbered Apple with no problem at all.
ipad sales are pathetic when compared to even Windows 7 pre-oders alone, don't let me even start on Windows 7 sales.
ipad is not even on the same planet, it's still in kindergarten.
That's impressive how?
And Windows 7 sold more units 10 minutes after launch than ipad has sold up to date. Palm has been comatose for years. Beating Palm is like beating a dead man.
