Edit: Apple specifically stated that the number does not include pre orders. I guess there are
a lot of people like this out there
I wonder if this boost will do a lot to slow down the loss of market share to Android tablets over a period of time. It is predicted that Android will hold over 50% market share by 2016, but for some reason that doesn't seem to consider Windows 8 tablets. Once Windows 8 tablets come out, things will be very interesting, because the gap between PC and tablet may finally start to be bridged.
Smart marketing, even though the only people who should give a damn are shareholders.
