Apple is disgusting

Why?



The Microsoft Surface Tablet details were very interesting, and the device comes out Oct 26?!



Didn't thought they were going to announce it that fast. They may be trying to hedge their position before Microsoft announces their tablet.

And I just want to say, that those things are incredibly expensive, how can they sell that many?

Consumers.



Yes. They need that to compete directly with Blackberry Playbook.

No. It's the analysts who think the Fire and the Nexus 7 are existential threats to Apple.

Maybe the iPad mini will change things (it is 30-40% larger than other 7-inch tablets), but as near as I can tell, the market for mid-size tablets is maybe 1/4 the size of the market for large tablets. And that's with an average selling price less than half that of 10" tablets.

These are not signs of a product which consumers are clamoring for. Apple's making an iPad mini to shut the door on competitors and to better serve the education market (smaller fingers and tighter budgets).

So, wanna make a bet that by this time next year, Apple will have sold more iPad Minis than Microsoft sells Surface tablets?
