Apples And Oranges, Well Apples Anyway

May 21st, 2010

Why would the iPad hurt Mac sales? If someone wants the power of a laptop and the ability to install Mac based applications, they are going to buy a Mac. If they want a tablet based device that acts more like the iPod Touch or iPhone, then sure, they are going to pick the iPad. It’s like saying that cardio workouts will interfere with your ab workouts. The two won’t interfere with each other at all.

Is the stunning success of the iPad cutting into Apple’s Mac sales? One leading Wall Street analyst says no, but another industry watcher says it’s too early to tell.

Piper Jaffrey analyst Gene Munster, after reviewing new data from market research firm NPD Group, believes the iPad isn’t harming Mac sales, although it might be contributing to a decline in iPod purchases, Fortune reports.

Duh.
