Apple's new iPads emerge amid tablet sales slump

Corporations and other large institutions are perhaps the only remaining under-exploited niche that could aid iPad sales, notes Parks Associates analyst Tejas Mehta. Apple struck a deal with IBM (IBM) earlier this year to try and bolster enterprise sales.

“There is a lot of potential growth there,” says Mehta. “The key is to extend the functionality of the iPad, so it’s not just a device that is used for (Internet) access and entertainment.”
