The rest of the tablet market is in disarray, but rumours abound that Apples China-based manufacturing partner Foxconn is expecting to make 20 million iPad 2 units in the third quarter of the year.
This staggering amount would take Apple way past its previous sales records and would represent a 60 percent rise in sequential growth shipments.
For the record, Apple sold 9.25 million units in its past fiscal quarter.
Its also worth noting that when iPad 2 launched earlier this year demand overshot supply, a problem Apple and Foxconn are keen to avoid this time around.
In contrast, HP's much admired TouchPad/webOS division is open for reasonable bids, while Google's many Android tablets are still scrabbling to find market share.
