yeah, no single device came out with BOTH the power and the price point... but the slow (much slower than I thought) erosion of market share is well underway. Mostly due to price. The "corporate" killer could be the Windows tabs if Microsoft doesn't screw it up... but I don't have a whole lot of faith. I have a feeling they will be buggy at first and way overpriced .. even for the corporate market.

I haven't double checked the figures but I have heard that iPad is down to 57% market share now... which is a pretty big drop but it looks like my prediction of 15-17% market share won't be realized for awhile. If the current rate of decline holds steady, then we are looking at under 20% market share in 5 more quarters. (I only have 4 quarters left on my bet.. 3.3 really, but the figures come out 1 quarter behind) The only real wildcard might be Windows 8.
