The most interesting thing is that 70% customers purchasing the iPad 2 are first-time iPad buyers.
That was my reason to buy the iPad2 when the iPad was originally announced. Let the product prove itself and let them fix whatever mistakes they made. Nobody wants to own the next Kin.
Their product sales have to be becoming very cyclical and regular and in fact may start getting consumers tuned to a particular upgrade cycle (every other release?) I don't know another company that is so consistent in their release cycles so people really have no idea when the "next" version is coming.
Whats becoming interesting to me is how effective Apple's consistent product cycles are at stimulating demand and in fact how customers are likely timing their purchases to these releases.

I don't know another company that is so consistent in their releas…
That’s kinda funny considering that Apple usually doesn’t pre-announce. (Exceptions are usually only first generations and operating systems.) They are predictable, but not because they are keeping us informed.

First-generation aversion? That was my reason to buy the iPad2 when the iPad was originally announced. Let the product prove itself and let them fix whatever mistakes they made. Nobody wants to own the next Kin.

But this is less common in consumer electronics. And frankly, this wasn't common until the iPhone. Even iPods didn't get upgraded by consumers much.
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...

Unfortunately. I wonder why there cannot be another company like Apple, but with other principles and/or design choices.

I believe there WILL be another great to rise this decade, it seems like Google is the new Microsoft and Facebook is IBM's grandson. I just feel it in the air, it's only a matter of time before a few rebels come together do something that shocks the world...again.
