That tablet looks TERRIBLE!! A simple iPad sytle tablet would be much more effective.

Not for everybody, major fail post.  Apple's marketshare was around 95% when the iPad first came out, now it is down to around 60% and is expected to fall more in the coming months to android's gain.

Yeah, not so much.

The iPad's market share is actually increasing. I doubt that will continue but given the iPad's price points, it shows just how miserably Google has done with Honeycomb. Android saw a spike in the last holiday season on the back of the 2.3-based Fire but that seems to have disappeared almost immediately. Google really needs to get developers on board with ICS. The Android tablet app market is literally a joke compared to the iPad-specific apps offered in the App Store.

Now that iPads start at $400, it will be harder for Google to gain traction. If Apple releases a smaller $250-300 iPad, watch out. It would take Google years to climb out of that hole. In the end, MS or Android will consume large portions of the market because they offer hardware flexibility that Apple will never offer. But the longer they sit around with their dicks in their hands, the more time it gives Cupertino to entrench themselves as the premiere tablet manufacturer.
