And unless Apple plans on releasing 2,3,4 new tablets in the next 2 years then your timeline is pretty damn far off too. I am not saying Apple is going anywhere.. I am just saying their market share is... They will happily settle into a 15-20% role just like they have with Macs. It's the same business model, it stands to reason the results will be the same. |

There will be the SONY Android tablets to compete head to head with Apple... both will be overpriced and hold a small market share... but the Dell, Asus, etc tablets will be high enough quality to be the bulk of the market.

Apple's business model is quite good here. The iPhone has been out for how long now and there's phones that people will argue might be better.....The only person arguing there's competition to the iPad currently is you. (of every person in the entire world) I don't understand why people get so spun up over this stuff. If you hate Apple, or hate the iPad, or whatever, so be it. Don't buy one. Problem solved and you can spend your time focused on something that matters.... (I forgot to add before---I have a blackberry POS model now, the newest one on Sprint. My company is getting us new phones this week, so pretty soon I'll have an iPhone too. We were going to get Evo4G's, but the bosses decided the iPhone was a better business phone for us I guess.) |

I personally can't use a true tablet because it doesn't have enough functionality for me.. iPads probably never will. If Intel and MS get their act together, they would probably provide the most useful tablet for me.. I doubt that happens. I do however see an Android tablet being both open enough and powerful enough for me at some point... possibly this Fall more likely a full year from now. Again though, I am arguing because I enjoy pointing out the inconsistencies in the blind faith people have that the iPad will dominate the market forever... same people were saying the same thing about iPhones which we are watching decline as cheaper Android phones saturate the market... and that market share grab hasn't even BEGUN to start to take hold like it will as the smartphone market replaces the legacy market. |

If tablets truly are the way computing is to be done in the future you can't honestly expect the largest computer company in the world to just sit on the sidelines. Android has a lot of support among tech circles, but until microsft gets involved, the public perception is probably going to be that the phone companies and apple are trying to outdo each other with gadgets, not that this is the new way of modern computing.

I'd love to see Android catch up with the iPhone and iPad, same with Windows and whoever else. Problem is, they're SO far behind by the time they do Apple will be on to the next thing. Wish they'd look ahead and try to beat Apple to the punch, rather than catch up with them. I won't hold my breath, after adwords Google hasn't really come up with any unique ideas on their own, they just take other companies ideas and try to make them better. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's buzz. |

No not at all. I'm pretty sure the guys at HP don't think so either... they are counting on WebOS and their tablets to be FAR more than novelty items... they are banking on it as a matter of fact.
