	<htmltext>You mean the fact that people who have been using Linux have been using package managers with GUIs (basically an app store) for the good part of at least a half a decade if not more? And the fact that many people wanted an SDK on launch with the iPhone? And the fact that people managed to figure out how to run their own programs on the iPhone many months before the iPhone 2.0 update was launched? It was only a small time before they managed to port Apt over to the iPhone. Yeah, by the time they finally released it, it was about at the same time as the app store, but the ideas had been there way before Apple's app store and would have probably beat it to market had Apple not been screwing with jailbroken iPhones like crazy.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>They ordered 10 million.  This does not mean that they will take delivery.  We might recall that Apple allegedly orders part to tie up the supply chain for other companies, and then only <a href="http://www.tgdaily.com/business-and-law-features/44870-claim-apple-suppressing-nand-flash-memory-market" title="tgdaily.com">accepts what it actually needs to meet production</a> [tgdaily.com].  This makes a lot of sense as they can guarantee a consistent and compatible product until the next rev.  One big problem I have with other vendors is it can be hard to figure out what drivers are needed for which models, as even within a model they may use several different products.
<p>
In any case, what we can say is that Apple is planning to sell up to 10 million of this initial run, which will presumably be manufactured over the calendar year 2010, if they are going to be available for quantity shipments in March.
</p><p>
If it follows the formula for the iPhone and iPod, there will probably be some scarcity through summer as significant defects will be found and corrected.  In late summer, in time for school, there will be like a minor revision and then sales will pick up considerable.  I can see them selling a couple million by mid summer, then 3 million or so for back to school, and the rest for christmas.
</p><p>
I will have to see the product to decide when to buy it.  If it is a small screen, 7", for under $500, it might be nice to have it in the near term.  If it is much more expensive, which would be likely for 10" model, then it would worth waiting for the version that will actually work.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>ONE INFINITE LOOP, Here We Go Again, Sunday (NNGadget) &mdash; Apple is reportedly close to launching its long-rumored \_\_\_\_. It could be Apple&rsquo;s latest billion-dollar jackpot.</p><p>Analyst speculation says the \_\_\_ will be launched in September and be in the shops by Christmas. A new mention of the \_\_\_ crops up on Twitter around every eight minutes.</p><p>The \_\_\_ is rumoured to be any size and scale between the iPod Shuffle and the Macintosh IIfx. Some have described the \_\_\_ as a &ldquo;\_\_\_-killer.&rdquo; Analyst speculation suggests the \_\_\_ will use a fantastic new interface. &ldquo;It will be a whole new paradigm,&rdquo; said Apple blogger Leander Kahney.</p><p>Expectations flared when technology research analysts noted that Taiwanese suppliers had received orders from an unknown buyer for a particular obscure component to be filled by the end of the year. &ldquo;The only possible conclusion is that Apple will launch a \_\_\_ by early next year,&rdquo; said Kahney. &ldquo;They&rsquo;ve been working on the \_\_\_ for the past six years. People expect it to be the ultimate Apple surprise. This thing will knock people&rsquo;s socks off.&rdquo;</p><p>Apple has refused to comment on the \_\_\_ speculation. But Tim Cook, its chief operating officer, recently hinted that the company was working on something &ldquo;very innovative.&rdquo; Steve Jobs is thought to have been personally involved in the development of the \_\_\_ over the past two years.</p><p>Daniel Eran Dilger noted on roughlydrafted.com that the \_\_\_ would need to be fueled on pain, angst, the destruction of the ecology, the torture of kittens and the tears of widows and orphans, but put together a devastatingly convincing and very lengthy explanation as to why Apple&rsquo;s actions were the only humanly acceptable option for the consumer, the technology industry and the future of humanity, and that Jobs&rsquo; Nobel Peace Prize was ridiculously overdue. And that all problems were clearly Microsoft&rsquo;s fault.</p><p><i>Illustration:</i> <a href="http://newstechnica.com/2009/08/23/apple-\_\_\_-set-to-revolutionise-consumer-electronics/" title="newstechnica.com">The generic Apple product</a> [newstechnica.com].

<sentencetext>ONE INFINITE LOOP, Here We Go Again, Sunday (NNGadget) — Apple is reportedly close to launching its long-rumored \_\_\_\_.
It could be Apple’s latest billion-dollar jackpot.Analyst speculation says the \_\_\_ will be launched in September and be in the shops by Christmas.
A new mention of the \_\_\_ crops up on Twitter around every eight minutes.The \_\_\_ is rumoured to be any size and scale between the iPod Shuffle and the Macintosh IIfx.
Some have described the \_\_\_ as a “\_\_\_-killer.” Analyst speculation suggests the \_\_\_ will use a fantastic new interface.
“It will be a whole new paradigm,” said Apple blogger Leander Kahney.Expectations flared when technology research analysts noted that Taiwanese suppliers had received orders from an unknown buyer for a particular obscure component to be filled by the end of the year.

“They’ve been working on the \_\_\_ for the past six years.

	<htmltext>The author of the article has a hard time believing that Apple ordered 10 million tablets this year.  While his logic is sound regarding the numbers, the author isn't quoting Apple.  The author's source for this rumor is an ex-Google employee.  And this employee is not saying Apple "ordered" 10 million only that Apple "plans to produce" 10 million.  There's a huge difference between the two.  Like any company building a new product, Apple has ordered X amount while letting their suppliers know that they may want up to Y amount.  If the product sells well, Apple will increase their order.  If it doesn't Apple will not.  Also the Y amount may be an unreachable goal.  Sometimes when negotiating contracts, some suppliers are not interested unless you are ordering a large amount.  Everyone knows that goal isn't likely but it makes everything look good.</htmltext>

And the author knows this how?  How do we know it will be a "big iPod", it could be completely different for all we know because nobody has seen it who is allowed to talk about it.  Regardless, of what it actually does, the idea that Apple will predict that it will sell 10 million tablets in the first year is hooey.  If anything, I would guess they will do the opposite and order too few units in order to increase the demand for the product by creating scarcity.  Just ask the Nintendo when the Wii came out or whoever made tickle me elmo how this works...</p></div>
