Wait a minute... 11 mill, last quarter. And that's their 'best' quarter. And Wu Wu Boo Boo is saying he's going with 'conservative' figures, right? At 'best', with full on, fanboy blue steel hardon brigade blazing, we're looking at 44 million... best case. All for a device that's going to compete with devices up to snuff & already out for the last 6 months, sans an option or two.

Granted... It's absolutely nothing to sneeze at. But adding another 4 mill to the sales quote, grab your crotch, clear your nostrils, all while doing your best Dice Man imitation and declare 'conservative figure' into the mix... come on...

I'd say maybe even more now that apple launched iBooks 2 for college students, making it cater to media consumption users, enterprise, and now school students even more. I'm surprised there's no article on that on afterdawn yet.
