Will the tablet market be more important than the PC market? Like many analysts, Tim Cook think so.
For the Apple COO, it is a mere question of time. This statement was made recently at a meeting with Bill Shope, an analyst at Goldman Sachs. This confidence is nothing extraordinary in itself, Apple is already selling more Mac than iPad.
The analyst also reports: "Apple seems more overtly optimistic on the long-term prospects for the iOS platform than it has been in quite some time. "
According to Bill Shope, Apple will probably be able to sell 8.1 million iPads for the June quarter, a 72% increase from the year prior.
