Apple's iPad 2 officially launched today, and analysts are already predicting Apple could more than double the number of iPads it shipped last year. About 20 percent of iPad 2 purchases are expected to come from original iPad owners, according to RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky.
Research from IDC says that "media tablets" like the iPad will sell about 50 million units overall in 2011, a number that analysts overall tend to agree on. Based on Apple's current dominance in the market, as well as pricing missteps and delays for competing products, IDC expects Apple to maintain a 70 to 80 percent share of the market. If those projections hold, Apple could sell 35 to 40 million iPads. Abramsky expects 28 million of those will be the new iPad 2.
