The Future Belongs to Apple's iPad

By Michael A. Robinson, Defense + Tech Specialist, Money Morning • @Robinson_STI - September 5, 2012

The Apple iPad is more than just a great tablet; it's the single most important computing device released in more than 25 years.

In fact, you'd have to go back to the introduction in 1984 of the Macintosh personal computer to find a machine as game-changing as this one.

Of course, back then, the Mac grabbed only a small share of the huge PC market. But what it did do was establish Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) as the sector's clear technical leader. It also gave birth to desktop publishing.

This time around, however, Apple has turned the tables on its rivals in two ways...

  • First, it came up with a breakthrough approach and the ideal screen size. At nearly 10 inches diagonal - very close to the size of a piece of paper - this format feels natural to most users.
  • Second, it's a runaway success, boasting 70% of the market share.
That leaves tech investors like us with two choices: Learn what this all means, or get left in the dust.

You see, the PC industry is going into a long decline. It's already started. Ditto for newspapers, magazines, music distribution, and lots of other physical products that will get transformed into software.

So says Michael Saylor, author of the hot new book "The Mobile Wave: How Mobile Intelligence Will Change Everything." As I told you yesterday, I tracked Saylor down to talk about how mobile computing fit into the Era of Radical Change. (You can read the first of my three-part series here.)

His is hardly an academic view. See, Saylor also serves as the CEO of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR), a leader in business intelligence.

He believes five billion people will use iPads or a comparable device within a decade. That's roughly 75% of the population of Earth. No doubt, he admitted to me, that's a bold prediction. He added this:

"It's a prediction upon which you can make a lot of money if you're an investor. Because if I'm right, then you will have beaten the crowds to that conclusion. And the reason I believe that is - we've reached an inflection point, where it's now cheaper to learn to read on a tablet than it is to learn to read on paper. And I think that's a very, very meaningful thing."
Naturally, I wanted to know just what investors need to do to make money off this trend, so I could share the information with you.

Saylor answered by sharing four key facts every investor needs to know about this market-dominating device.

Here they are...

How Apple Investors Can Profit from the New iPad

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - March 7, 2012

Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) shoveled more coal into its money-making locomotive today (Wednesday) with the official launch of the New iPad.

If the third version of Apple's trend-setting tablet is as big a success as most expect, then owning the company's stock isn't the only way that Apple investors can profit. Many of Apple's suppliers will also reap reward from the New iPad.

The New iPad's marquee features, such as support for 4G LTE networks and the ultra-high resolution Retina display, should help Apple maintain its dominance in the tablet market at least through the end of the year. And if rumors of a 7-inch iPad Mini eventually pan out, Apple will have a cheaper tablet option to appeal to consumers now buying Amazon.com's (Nasdaq: AMZN) $199 Kindle Fire.

A Forrester Research report published yesterday (Tuesday) put the iPad's share of the tablet market at 73%, with no other rival having more than 5%.

Analyst estimates for 2012 iPad sales range from 55 million to 60 million. Apple has sold 55 million iPads since the product's debut in April 2010, winning over not just consumers but multiple markets.

"It's astonishing how fast the product has spread through business, education and health care," Needham & Co. analyst Charles Wolf told USA Today.

Sales of the iPad, along with the iPhone, have pleased Apple investors by pushing stock past $500 a share this year.
