Where exactly is Apple losing? || Asks Jim Dalrymple

Jim Dalrymple:



The biggest point that should have been made is that IDC is predicting that “shipments” of Android tablets will top the iPad. That’s shipments, not sales.



Also, Kate MacKenzie:




We hear that Apple needs to build an entry-level, less expensive iPhone or risk being left behind as Android dominates the smartphone world. Or, something like that. Such analysis overlooks Apple’s typical customer, and, importantly the customers Apple does not want.




Remember netbooks? They’re mostly forgettable. Yet, every tech pundit with a keyboard and digital soap box declared Apple dead in the water unless they introduced a Mac netbook (as in cheap).

Are we not glad Apple does not listen to the crowd? Where are netbooks today?
