> The iPad 2's early success is a warning sign of a global tablet bubble, where supply could outpace demand for tablets by about 36 percent, said J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz.

It's official: everything is a bubble now.

The most interesting thing is that 70% customers purchasing the iPad 2 are first-time iPad buyers.

I also noticed the proportion of Windows users has increased; Windows folks now make up half of iPad buyers.

They did it again. I don't think any company is as consistently great as Apple. Not a fanboy, just calling it like it is...
