Who didn't see that coming?

Once Google had an actual tablet OS coupled with solid hardware at reasonable prices, its obvious it would surpass Apple. Just like what happened when Android on phones became a solid OS. (~v2.0)

Now, just like smartphones (Samsung), in another year or so a single or two Android tablet makers will directly beat Apple on their own.


I dont know if it was obvious, but Apple has by far gotten the most prestiget and buzz for its tablet, yet it still has gradually declined ever since the first android tablets have came out.

Of course it's market share has declined. They were pretty much the only tablet that sold at one time.  They are still increasing their own sales at a massive rate YOY and they are still selling 3 times as many as any other manufacturer.

a falling market share in a massively expanding maket is to be expected. 

Yeah, and we've gone from apple having around 95% of marketshare when the first android tablets came out to around 40% now..... It's only pitiful bc they should be able to do better as they are a massive company and should have been able to quash the android attempts at teh begining. 


You have a very very weird view of how business works.  I'm guessing its based on text books and theory.  In the real work, where I do business, your view would be seen as naive in the extreme. 


This doesn't have jack squat to do with my views on business, i'm only relating two events.  If you think that this holds my ideas about business in general, then you need to put the hash pipe down, son.
