There were huge supply constraints on the iPad mini too; it was sold out basically everywhere. Android simply can't compete with Apple in the tablet market. Time will tell if MS can...

that is very very true, i cant understand why though

Actually not so very very true at all. Apple simply had a head start in the tablet market.

Just a few days ago, IDC released new numbers showing that during the last quarter alone, Apple's share of the tablet market has dropped over 15%, from 65 percent to 50, while sales of Android tablets greatly increased and are now at about 40%.

So it might be just a matter of 3-6 months until Android rules the tablet market as well.
