In Apple’s new “What is iPad?” commercial, they claim that it is “more books than you could read in a lifetime.” But now that the iPad has been out for a little while, it’s hard to say whether or not this tablet computer that has taken the world by storm will or will not replace traditional e-readers.

With no official word from Apple, the Tablet is still just a rumor right now, but that doesn’t stop all the Tech analysts from making predictions on it’s mass production. It’s said that if you want to see whats really going on “checks into Apple’s supply chain” as providing sufficient evidence that the Apple is preparing to ramp up production in February of a 10.1-inch multitouch LCD based tablet.
According to analysts the deal Apple is offering is especially designed to take Amazon’s Kindle completely out of the tablet business. They claim publishers are being offered a 30/70 split on ebook profits, with publishers taking the lion’s share; in contrast, Amazon is believed to demand a 50/50 split, only matching the presumed Apple deal if publishers agree to Kindle exclusivity.
Analyst’s reckon the device will launch in late March or April, priced at $1,000 each and with Apple selling as many as 1m tablets per month.
