Ever since rumours about Apple’s tablet being launched surfaced, media world over just couldn’t stop writing about it, many predicting another blockbuster from the Apple shed. Investors have gone berserk and hopes are sky high.
Brian Claufield writes on Forbes that Apple’s chief, Steve Jobs may be aiming the Tablet at the Amazon’s hot-selling e-reader Kindle.
Oppenheimer analyst Yair Reiner reports that Apple shall begin the manufacturing of the Tablet from February suggesting a late April Commercial release. Assuming that Apple sells 1-1.5 million units for $1000 each and make up 22% margin the tablet could amazingly add 25-38cents per Apple’s each share.
He writes Apple might be approaching publishers with a better deal then what Kindle offers. Reiner writes that Apple might just ask 30% of revenues generated by selling e-books and moreover will not ask publishers for an exclusive commitment somewhat similar to the 70-30 share that Apple already offers to the developers making software for its iPhone and iPod Touch
