>>But the most important question will be profitability. Less models with higher sell through should make the iPad the leader in profits for tablets, no matter what it's marketshare is.<<

Exactly.

Some people think that if Android does well, Apple won't. This is clearly not the case. More Android phones than ever were sold in calendar Q4 of 2010. More iPhones than ever were sold in the same quarter.

This is a blindingly obvious thing to say, but I'll repeat it anyway: Apple doesn't need massive market share to make massive profits. That's not just an opinion, it's proven fact. One needs only to look at Apple's results for the past, oh, 30 quarters to see that.
