That's reporting on "Android" self-cannibalization (Google vs Amazon)

and...

This is a report that says that Amazon: a) might venture into the ~10" tablet space. b) might have sales increase to 20M/yr c) might have monkeys fly out of their butts

Looks like Apple will be stuck at 9.7" tablets in order to make any money of iPads, and their growth/dominance of tablet space will slow/shrink thanks to upcoming 7" tablets from Amazon and Asus/Google.

The Android alternative is turning into a juggernaut, with 450,000 apps now, and Windows-on-Arm tablets haven't even hit yet!

That may be so, but there's all of but 2,000 Asus Transformers that came out of its initial production run with which to run those applications on:
