iPad is about 30 billion in revenue each year.

For a device that even now many people would question what problem it solves.

The iPad solves a lot of very obvious problems. For drawing it’s one of the best value products around, for PoS and restaurant ordering software it’s the best option, and for media consumption it’s a pretty good option.
I don't doubt that they will sell. I just don't think it's the future the hype is making out.
A big portion, maybe even a majority, of my fellow students uses an iPad.
The iPad is a game console for most people. As such it works great.
