You know what is competing with those 7" tablets?

The iPAD!

It is outselling every other tablet... ...combined.

Segmenting a market is valid, so, where is the Apple 7" iPad then? When will Apple introduce a 7" tablet? =A0The 7" tablet sales have been ramping up since the median price point for them finally broke $300. Where is Apple's sub-$300 iPad? Or <$250? Or <$200 for that matter.

So by which means is your marketplace segment being defined: is it by size, or is it by price?

Oh, wait... that's right... *nowhere*

Can't say that until you make definitive the modality of the segmentation.

Meanwhile, Android tablet sales are increasing, with Asus' Transformer Prime a strong #2 in sales, and climbing - and the Win8 tablets haven't even hit yet.

Sorry for my confusion, but wasn't it just last week that the claim was something like that the #2 slot was held the Kindle Fire?
