Steve Jobs on iPad as The Future of Apple.

The phenomenal Apple iPad was formally introduced in January 2010. During an interview in June 7, 2010, Steve Jobs predicted the future of the tablet industry:

When we were an agrarian nation all cars were trucks because that's what you needed on farms...but as Americans moved into the urban areas cars got more popular. And now, probably one out of every 35 vehicle is a truck. PCs are going to be like trucks. PCs...are still going to be around...but they are going to be used by one out of X people. And this transformation is going to make some people uneasy...I think we have embarked on that.

During Walt Mossberg's interview with Steve Jobs, he asked how Apple thought of making a tablet when the iPhone is such a big hit, Jobs response was prophetic indeed:

It's precisely these kind of moments that fuel the speculation of Apple watchers wondering what exactly is Cupertino up to nowadays as it sits on its pile of cash?

The rise of the tablet computer has been a great thing for Apple so far, with the release of the iPad in 2010. For now, it is important to analyze Apple assuming that it won't release a revolutionary and profitable product in the near future. It'll be clearer to see if revenue growth is sustainable.
