The Macalope Weekly: Keeping the party rolling

16.06.2011

"The excitement around the Android tablets, I think, is incredible."

Are we talking about ?

A report released on Thursday by J.P. Morgan Chase says that demand is not what Apple's competitors had hoped for. In fact, production of tablets has dropped by about 10 percent, according to NYTimes.

In comparison, Apple has had a hard time keeping up with demand for the iPad since it was released.

Narayen's outlook for the success of Flash-inflicted tablets seems somewhat premature. It's possible that it could happen at some point, the Macalope supposes, but Flash's role on mobile platforms seems like it'll continue to be that of the oafish compatibility layer. Probably best to start thinking up next business model rather than complaining about someone else who's already got a pretty good one.
