On another note, I must emphasize it really is terrible planning from the Apple sales executives to not fully take advantage of their renowned success and contract other manufacturers in order to increase their production and therefore their revenue.
Didn't the tsunami have a part in the lack of iPads?
Yes, you are right, I was overstating what you said in the current thread, but in
this previous thread, were you not defending the article that suggested that Android had a 31% share of the tablet market share?
If you mean
this post, once again I was simply pointing out that we didn't have enough information to form a solid opinion.
I've been posting online for forty years. I'm not into religious device battles, as every fad comes and goes.
What I and others here do try to promote, is the concept of examining sources and doing further research before jumping on bandwagons or believing everything we read, right away.
For instance, I always go back and find the original source of anything I read in so-called tech news sites. It's ridiculous how much many stories get modified as they pass through the internet echo chamber.
This is why many of us with years of industry experience hang out here. We can right away say, hey no, that patent doesn't mean that. Or that statistic is misleading. Once informed, then people can go ahead and argue using a better basis.
Can you even remotely reconcile those numbers with the stats from any published study of web usage?
My daughter uses Android tablets all the time for games and watching videos, but never surfs the web.
Come to think of it, all the women that I've given iPads to, don't use the web browser either! They use Facebook, Flipboard and other RSS readers, email, and such... but almost never surf the web like men tend to do.
Show them the App store, lots & lots of excellent games there.
Apps cannot compare to the rich interactive kid's worlds available online that use Flash. From Poptropica to Wizard101 to Moshi Monsters to ZwinkyCuties to whatever.
