Apple "established an entirely new market that it now dominates with an iron fist. It’s hard to believe that it hasn’t even been a year since Apple launched the iPad, a device that has turned the tablet form factor into a must-have. Apple is expected to sell 13.3 million iPads this year, up from… well, up from zero iPads in 2009," Ben Parr writes for Mashable.

   "It’s not just the fact that Apple single handedly created a new multi-billion-dollar revenue stream, but that it’s redefining all of computing," Parr writes. "Notebook sales have dropped since the iPad’s introduction. Apple accelerated the rise of HTML5 with its tablet device at the expense of Flash. Its influence is already affecting countless web apps. Oh, and it’s redefining the meaning of 'mobile.'"

   Parr writes, "Apple isn’t done, though. The iPad 2 will arrive in the next few months, and its difficult to find any circumstance where it wouldn’t extend Apple’s supremacy over the market it created."
