Apple Thoughts: Happy Birthday iPad!

"Happy iPad day everyone! We put together a special birthday treat in honor of iPad's introduction one year ago on January 27, 2010. In one short year, this device has blown away expectations and changed the world for the better. This is the first of a frequent series of infographics we will be putting together on the tablet market and media industry."

Time flies, and this surprised me actually, I didn't think it had been a year since the introduction of the iPad. 14.8 million sold, and as the graphic above shows, that is about five times more than they were predicted to sell. Any ideas on how well it will do this year? I'm betting not as good with all the other options out there but then again, who knows what the iPad 2 (rumored to be coming out soon) will bring to the table. What are your thoughts?
