Sales of Apple's new tablet computer could exceed early iPhone sales and total Kindle sales to date.
Apple is only confessing to 300,000 sold but some investors are calculating nearly 700,000. (270,000 iPhones sold during that product's initial launch).
Investors say iPad sales will exceed the 1.12 million iPhones during its first complete sales quarter. In less than a year iPad unit sales will exceed all Kindles sold to-date (3 million).
Few analysts think iPad sales will eclipse iPhone over the long term, but most think between 5 million iPads during the 2010 calendar year and 2.5 million.
iPad may add $1.5 billion to Apple's fiscal fiscal and may become at least 4.3% of the stock value in its first year (see chart at top by Trefis).
