Gazelle dot com -- thanks for being with us.

Definitely we have seen nice -- 80% increase in I patriots'.
Coming over to gazelle within the last thirty days so it's very interest -- to see that.
You know iPad iPad owners are definitely getting ready to ought to upgrade to in fact even a smaller iPad -- had -- which is an area very interesting for us.
Now of the flood of of ipads being offered to about like how are we talking about an 80% increase -- -- 201000.
How many units.
Father definitely gotten reaching into -- into the up the thousands rally considering now but they're steadily increasing day over day.
Right now.
About I can tell you that he had the first generation iPad is about 50% of that volume yeah we assume that.
You know these -- have been offered you know two to three years and there are a lot older then.
-- the second generation in the third generations up and get a -- first generation iPad owners are definitely ready for the record -- you get the other half is for Bob more recent men and machines and kind of surprised at that now here's the trouble for apple.
If I have one of the big ones and I swapping the -- I get a little mini.
That means I'm definitely not going to be buying a new big when this is gonna cannibalize -- sales of the 800 dollar model is -- -- potentially cut I think the seven inch tablet owner.
It's kind of a different customer care compared to the traditional you know.
Ten and -- tablet arm owner they're looking for something smaller something more compact and most likely something less expensive so the big thing for apple will be price points.
That's going to be interesting to see where this thing actually falls of -- gonna fall.
At a 299 price points.
Or 399 price point because remember about the eye -- new iPod Touch -- just launched is already.
299 and 399 respectively so there's definitely be interesting to see where this thing lands not bad yeah terms of price they -- if -- -- the laptop market which is now kind of dormant.
We used -- if you wanting a bigger screen a bigger screen a bigger screen and and the iPad tablet market.
What kind of more just that and a smaller screen I wonder what that's gonna mean for the entire category.
Apple clearly had to do this to match the Kindle fire than what's been losing a lot of introductory sale to Amazon.
Correct I think that the Kindle fire along with the new nexus seven from my -- a single -- Not very 22 great tablets both at 199 price points so.
I don't expect apple to compete -- -- 199 price point aware apple can compete as what -- ecosystem.
A lot of people who have iphones who have ipads there right now they're buried into this apple ecosystem with iTunes and App Store and they've invested a lot of -- it.
So for them to go had to jump ship -- let's say.
Google tablets aren't even a windows eight tablets -- which -- You know what is gonna be very different platform for an OK I just don't see that -- -- at the -- I think you look at apple doesn't just definite start doing trading itself and white -- resellers out of business thanks for being with us.
