Tablets are the thing, and much cheaper. Ipads outselling PC’s? Sure, PC’s are not Tablets. Now compare Apple’s to Apples. Android tablets are now outselling Apple by a 4-1 margin, simply on price. Not dimestore variety, but Kindles and Nooks, are in fact Android devices too. It’s not Kindle vs ipad vs nook. There is the current Ipad, and there is basic kindle, advanced Kindles, Black & White, or Color Kindles, Fully rooted Kindles, as well as several different Nooks. So no company is doing as well as Apple. It’s one Company, selling an ‘Ipad’. The open source nature of Android gives ALL of the Apple competiton a second lease on life, and combined, their earnings dwarf Apple. At one point in life, there was only ‘Betamax’. Betamax was #1. If you had a VCR, it was Beta. Where is Beta today? Replace ‘Betamax’ with ‘IOs’.
