6 million units per month
Because as we all know, nobody wants one of these toys that is nothing moe than a big iPod touch, blah, blah, blah.
This is for entering new markets, but also selling to first-timers. There are many, many millions more to sell before people get their first tablet in this, the new Tabler Era of computers. This is big. Real big.

So ~1.33 million a month to 6 million a month. Apple really thinks that many people are holding off their iPad purchases because it doesn't have a Facetime camera? It's pretty optimistic.

I personally know of 7 people that want an iPad now and are waiting. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a significant increase in demand.
Who wants to pay full price for technology that will be outdated in a few months?

I want an iPad, but will hold off until 2.0 arrives.
6M/month - I dunno, but it's gonna be big!
My 2011 wish-list:
1. iPad 2.0
2. Apple stock
I've had an iPhone since 2007, but may not keep one once the smaller iPad debuts! Maybe I'll get a trac-phone for emergencies!

I'm with you 100% on the iPad2, but unless AAPL hits $600 sometime soon, I put my money elsewhere. :)
