In fact, going by Munster’s figures the real damage is being done to Amazon. Of the iPad buyers, 10-percent had considered picking up a Kindle instead, and of the 13-percent who already owned Kindles, 58-percent planned to replace the dedicated ereader with their new Apple tablet. Reading ebooks was the second most likely activity for iPad owners (38-percent), coming in behind web browsing which 74-percent said they planned to do with the device; meanwhile email came in at 34-percent, video consumption at 26-percent and games/apps at 18-percent. Munster has already more than doubled his expectations for iPad sales in 2010, from 2.7 million to 5.6 million.
Steve Jobs himself commented in the press release, saying the iPad is “going to be a game changer.” I’m sure he means that, although honestly, I’m not quite sure what game he’s talking about. Maybe with a little more time this will become more obvious to people like me who aren’t entirely convinced of the iPad’s viability as a mobile computing platform (I mean, it’s an extra-large iPhone with less features, right?).
In any case, I know one thing’s certain: this thing is popular.
