It's often useful to dig down to the original source. The WSJ article is here: <http://online.wsj.com/article/ SB10001424052702304017404575165621713345324.html#ixzz1A0mla1rS> Particularly interesting was this statement: "Estimates for global iPad sales this year ranged from 2.5 million by financial-services firm Kaufman Bros. to as high as 7.1 million by research firm iSuppli Corp." According to Apple's October earning report, they had already sold 7.5M iPads as of 30 Sept 10... -hh

The Wall Street Journal found something to admit to.

So, if the WSJ "predicts" 2.5 million will be sold for all of 2010 and Apple has sold 7.5 million before the last quarter of the year has been counted -- that means Apple sold 300% more than the WSJ predicted. Yeah I can see the smoke coming out of your ears, trying to figure out percentages...... By definition, they are "inaccurate"
