An investment note from CLSA on Thursday made the prediction that Apple would see its iPad shipments soar to 14.4 million in the summer. Understanding from internal checks that 4.8 million of the 5.38 million 9.7-inch LCDs shipped in May would be headed to Apple, he tripled the figure to reach an amount for an entire quarter. The figure would be significantly above the 10 million to 12 million of the market consensus and about 50 percent more than the roughly eight million many expect for the spring.
