A few posts back I suggested that the iPad will be a hit when 3rd party software developers develop game changing apps for the iPad, and enough distributors content comes online through the iPad.
Read Write Web recently posted a round up of technology analysts predictions for the iPad, where the analysts have come to the same conclusions.
Amongst other thoughts, the analysts predict that
- the iPad will sell between 1 and 6 million units in FY 2010 and 4 and 9 million in FY 2011
- the iPad will become a real hit when the iPad apps arrive
- the iPad will be a casual gaming device but not a ‘serious’ gaming device
