What a Mini iPad Could Do for Apple

Just how big can the iPad market get? As investors parse the rumors of a new mini-iPad launch from Apple this fall, that's got to be the main question. Apple (AAPL) is already selling a staggering number of iPads; 17 million last quarter alone. For a little perspective, that's far better than Apple ever did with the iPod touch, which from my calculations topped out at about 10 million units in its best showing. It's just 6 million units short of the all-time quarterly record for all iPod sales, which stands at 22.7 million. And it's getting into the same territory as the all-time iPhone sales record, which Apple set in the most recent holiday season at 37 million. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/mini-ipad-could-apple-072756813.html
