Apple's iPad 2 Event by the Numbers

March 2, 2011 at 3:05 pm PT

The most important numbers by far at Apple’s special event in San Francisco today were 2 (as in iPad 2) and 4.3 (as in iOS 4.3). But there plenty of others as well, each a testament to Apple’s continuing dominance of the smartphone and tablet markets. Below, a quick rundown of all the metrics trotted out this morning.

100 million iBooks downloaded

2,500 publishers on iBookstore

200 million iTunes accounts, each with a user identity and credit card number

$2 billion in profits paid out to App Store developers

100 million iPhones sold to date

Nearly 15 million iPads sold in 2010–more than every tablet PC ever sold

Those 15 million iPads generated $9.5 billion in revenue

And they gave iPad a greater than 90 percent share of the tablet market

More than 350,000 apps in Apple’s App Store

65,000 of those have been optimized for iPad

Far more than the 100 or so that Google’s Android Honeycomb OS will debut with.

I think, based on today’s presentation and the numbers shown above, we can safely agree that my prediction for $400 to $450 per share by the end of the first quarter (that means this month gang), is going to be more on target than off target.

I think $400 is possible. $450 is pushing it. Despite Apple suddenly becoming the second largest company in the world (in terms of profitability) Wall Street continues to pressure AAPL downward.

That is what the Apple iPad is all about! Damn! I know that the iPad 2 will have more sales than the iPad and will have bigger profit than nay other tablet in the industry.

They’re the second largest company in terms of market capitalization, not profitability.
