Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty told clients in a research note Monday morning that she expects Apple to sell 2.5 million iPads during its first quarter of availability, and more than six million during the current fiscal year, according to Marketwatch. She estimated that Apple’s bottom line benefits by 25 cents for every million units…

Fortune reported the research note to clients, and said that Mr. Bachman’s reasoning revolves around several contributing factors. For one thing, he thinks that Apple’s iPad could conceivably capture as much as 11% of the existing Wintel and Linux netbook market. At 40 million units in 2010, that would represent a sizable chunk of unit…

He said that the only reason he didn’t was because he wanted to avoid the inevitable uproar that would have occurred had he done so. “Frankly, I wish I had resigned then,” he told The Journal. At issue was the way that Apple, its board, and Mr. Jobs himself did not fully disclose his health…

“Apple technologies offer unique and proven solutions with intuitive designs that allow users to learn quickly without a training manual,” Ron Szymanski, CERDEC’s lead computer scientist for the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), said in a statement. “The Army would like to leverage Apple’s experience when designing military applications.” More specifically, the…

At the same time, however, Hartmut Ostrowski, CEO of Random’s parent company Bertelsmann said recently at a press conference that the iPad, the Sony Reader, and similar devices were here to stay. He also acknowledged at that time that such devices were influencing the media industry, “like nothing else.” As one of the biggest publishers…

That said, it is the WiFi-only version of the iPad that will be released first – 3G capable iPads will be released as early as 30 days after the April 3rd launch of the device, so the lack of them at AT&T shouldn’t come as a surprise, though readers looking to buy one through AT&T…

The survey found that 68% of potential iPad owners aged 25-34 years olds and 59% of owners 35-44 years old would be willing to pay for such content, “representing substantially higher percentages than people age 45 and older.” That data might be surprising to some people in that younger Internet users are often considered more…

The New York Times reported that Perseus has agreed to Apple’s demand to not offer ebooks through other retailers (i.e. Amazon) for less than it does at iBooks, a demand Apple has made for all of its iPad-related iBooks publishing houses. “We’re working with Apple to make books from The Perseus Books Group and the…

“The iPad photo app looks incredible,” an unidentified UK resident wrote to Mr. Jobs. “Are there any plans to support Picasa’s faces and albums in iTunes so I can take full advantage of the Photos application?” In his reply, which was forwarded to 9to5Mac.com, Mr. Jobs wrote, “No, but iPhoto on the Mac has much…

“[The thieves displayed a] high level of sophistication,” Detective James Ryan, a police department spokesman, told NJ.com. “They never set off any motion sensors. They never touched the floor. They rappelled in and rappelled out.” All told, the thieves managed to scoop up 20 Apple laptops, devices that tend to maintain their value when being…

“The whole issue is a kind of interesting dynamic,” an unnamed senior major-label distribution executive told Billboard. “Amazon is fighting a guerrilla war against iTunes, and now iTunes is getting frustrated because they work hard to set up and promote a release weeks in advance of the street date, and then lo and behold, Amazon…

TiVo Series 4 The new models no longer need a dialup connection, utilizing on-board Ethernet for connecting to TiVo and downloading content information. The company will also be introducing a wireless adapter later this year for 802.11n and 802.11g network support. In the middle of the Great Flash Debate of 2010 brought on by Apple’s…

The election did not come as a surprise, as there are no currently controversial members of the company’s board of directors. Eric Schmid, Google CEO, was the closest thing to a controversial member, but he resigned his position in 2009. When asked by a shareholder if Mr. Schmidt had behaved properly during his tenure at…

Apple has so far been mum on what it intends to do with the facility, which first came to light in 2009, and was officially confirmed by local North Carolina sources in July of 2009. It is largely assumed that the company will begin expanding its cloud computing services, and that the facility will be…

Mr. Jobs met with The Journal’s editorial staff to pitch them on launching the paper on the iPad, part of which included a salespitch to dump Flash for video and slideshows for presentation on the iPad. In the process, he called Flash a “CPU hog,” and said it was filled with security holes, and even…

“Steve Wozniak is a renowned technology leader and innovator, and we are pleased he will kickoff MILCOM 2010,” Joanne Maguire, executive vice president, Lockheed Martin Space Systems and co-general chair of the conference, said in a statement. “For industry, government and other stakeholders involved in communications technologies, MILCOM 2010 is the single must-attend event where…

Apple’s business model for its new, but not yet open, iBooks Store for books and magazines follows the same model the company uses at the App Store: Publishers and app developers would receive 70% of the revenue from a book sale or a subscription, and Apple retains control over the relationship to the customer, including…
