Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu believes that Apple will sell at least 48 million iPads this year by their upgraded iPad which is the iPad 3.
Wu recently indicated in his forecast speculation that iPad 3 will reach customers in March and would be a "significant update" over the last iPad models and he did say that new features and improvements would be "welcome surprises." Also, there are many reports that show around regarding the next iPad that it will be powered by a quad-core chip and will support 4G LTE.In some cases, many people criticized mobile phones that support 4G LTE for draining battery life quickly. But according to the analyst, that would be a limitation Apple may have been able to talk to.

Wu wrote, "Our industry sources indicate Apple has made noticeable progress in improving battery life that have plagued competitor products. This is due to the company's ownership of core intellectual property including systems design, semiconductors, battery chemistry, and software."
With that said, if the next tablet of Apple would have major changes and improvements regarding its features, Shaw Wu believes Apple will push it sales even higher that could lengthen the gap from all Android devices and from its only real rival- Amazon's Kindle Fire.
The company is due to release its sales figures for the December quarter on January 24.
