I love the way you guys try and pretend that the iPad isn't creaming the competition by segmenting the market.

You know what is competing with those 7" tablets?

The iPAD!

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

flint
Segmenting a market is valid, so, where is the Apple 7" iPad then? When will Apple introduce a 7" tablet? The 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.

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

Depends on how one analyses it.

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

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

The what of the segmentation? LOL

flint
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.

-hh
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?

-hh

Yes, you are confused. ;)
