pardon me? are you implying that you have won a bet against me in the past? _when?_
I'll be that the iPad never even gets HALF the market for eReaders over the long haul.
you can't be serious. the ipad is already up to 500,000 sold. besides, by "multipurpose machine", i certainly include the iphone and the ipodtouch in there, and -- as i said -- apple has sold 80 million... they sold 8.75 million iphones in the first quarter, an _increase_ over the previous (_holiday_) quarter, which is an absolutely astonishing accomplishment. we're seeing a juggernaut, and it's gathering steam, all because they gave people multipurpose machines that can be carried around with the greatest of ease... there are some of us who _knew_ this'd be killer. (and, gee, michael, i thought you were one of us.) -bowerbird
