“DigiTimes” (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20100903PD214.html) says that “market watchers” forecast that manufacturer Quanta will ship more than 10 million iPad touches for Apple by the end of 2010, “helping to ease the company’s lower-than-expected sales of notebook products.”
Digitimes Research senior analyst Mingchi Kuo predicts that overall iPod shipments will reach 20 million units with the iPod touch to account for more than 55% of that total. He thinks that the iPod nano and shuffle will each ship 20% and remaining 5% will be iPod classics.
