Apple already has tablets completely locked down. When making software, developers only consider the iPad. Phones are much more in flux because they're already porting to Android as well. The build quality and integration of the new HTCs and Lumias are superior in some ways to Android and iPhones, whereas with the Surface it's not better than anything that already exists. Fundamentally I think people don't want to use Windows on a tablet, even with shiny Metro. The analysts are thinking that because there are a lot of makers of RT/Pro tablets that it will succeed. Actually I think MS will universally undercut them all so only Surface is viable, and then I don't see actually 1 in 5 people outright choosing a Surface. |
Ok, well apple has been steadily dropping market sharesince the beginning and now, is down to about 50%. I can't call that a lock on the tablet market, it's still anybody's game. And Microsoft is ossibly just using the surface as a flagship device, to show off the OS more than to dominate the market.
