Over 4 million iPads shipped this past quarter. And Apple sees the demand increasing dramatically.

Even though Apple doesn't want to be the biggest player, they just want to make the best devices, they're currently the number one computer maker in the US in terms of market share.

Some analysts have been incorrectly reporting Apple as having jumped to number 3, but in fact they've missed counting the iPad which has helped Apple shoot to number one.

Other manufacturers count their netbooks running alternative OSes, and by all accounts the iPad is eroding their market share as well as starting to take a bite out of more traditional notebooks in Enterprise and K12 according to Apple.

I can honestly tell you that 10 years ago I would have never guessed that Apple would be the biggest tech company in the US both in terms of capitalization and computers shipped. They now also have over $50 Billion in cash and their stock is almost at $320 US per share (that puts their market cap at almost $70B more than MSFT). WTF.
