I just dont see it, averages uses arent wanting to blow £1000+ on tablets, there will be some obviously but it wont be the insane mass market like  £400 ipads are. Im a windows 8 fan as well and i just dont see it, even tho i would probably go for a surface pro if i was in the market for a tablet. 

People especailly business people are already use to ipads in the office environment, there will be no real corrolation to converting from desktop PCs, all tablets are compatible with windows, to the level that most business uses need. 


I agree that the expensive tablets aren't the "sweet spot" today.  But todays expensive tablets are tomorrow's mid priced tablets and tomorrow's mid price are the low end tablets 2 years from now.  Kind of where I was heading, 3 -4 years from now, the average tablet for $400-$500 will be capable of doing most of what the PS4/XB1 can do now.  People get stuck looking at ipdas as the standard bearer of what tablets offer.  The reality is that the broke open the tablet market, but they are no where near the leaders in design anymore.  They still sell the hell out of their units, but their market share is 30% of what it used to be.  As more and more people use the alternatives, the Ipad mania has lost its luster.
