iPad creates a potentially new market share
Last week the unveiling of the iPad left many technophiles skeptical of its qualities, however there are those who choose to focus on its innovative potentials.
Brian Chen of Wired is confident in the iPad's qualities which could potentially bridge the generation gap between users, allowing room for both younger and older consumers to comfortably use the product. He argues that the iPad's simplistic and tactile design would be perfect for new computer users. Furthermore, the iPad would contain easy to use applications (citing the Facebook App.) which are arguably superior to their full web counterparts.

One wrinkle in the
One wrinkle in the company’s fiscal first-quarter outperformance was the role of new accounting principles in those impressive numbers. But the company’s results were stellar either way. Nevertheless, those accounting changes did figure into the improved guidance for the fiscal second quarter. The company now expects to earn in the range of $2.06 to $2.18 per share in the fiscal second quarter, up from $1.79 in the year-ago quarter.
We should, however, keep the company’s history of guidance conservatism while looking at their current guidance. And this is evident from recent estimate revisions. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate calls for $2.31 per share in earnings, much above the company’s own expectation. Estimates appear to be up significantly, with 19 of the 40 analysts covering the stock raising second quarter estimates in the last 30 days.
