Stats without footnotes are as useful as my anecdotal evidence. Moreover how big is that market?

They've sold 84 million iPads, 44 million of which were sold in the past 8-10 months.

What does that have to do with 73%?

They sold 44 million in three quarters, and they have (at least) 73% market share. So, a total of 80 million in 2012. Probably 50% more in 2013.

Where are you getting the 73% from? The uncited statistic upthread? And where are you getting the growth projections from?
