“Rethink’s forecast shows the iPad keeping its lead but with significant erosion of its share in the face of rising competition. There were already early signs of this in the third quarter of 2010, when iPad sales, though healthy at 4.19m units (up 28 per cent on the first quarter of availability), disappointed analysts.”
This quote from The Register shows, I think, the reasoning behind any & all ‘the iPad is DOOMED by competitors’ rhetoric. Essentially the only reason is that it didn’t improve quite as much as the analysts wanted. A ‘mere’ 28%.
*sigh*
