The Macalope Weekly: Fun-sized

27.10.2012

Buh-whaa? Come again, Trip?

Just incremental improvements, nothing ground breaking. The best is over for Apple. iPad mini is playing catch up to Google Android, probably will have a mediocre customer adoption.

Uh, hey, Trip, remind the Macalope how much tablet market share Google Android has. Admittedly, its hard to tell because Googles so proud of how well the Nexus 7 is selling that the company wont tell us how many its sold. Same thing with Amazon, which doesnt report sales of the Kindle Fire. While the horny one is sure the Kindle Fire line is selling better than the Nexus 7, its also not Google Android. The most estimates of tablet market share for Google Android have it at half the iPads share.

And mediocre customer adoption, huh? Then the after the event must be from people fed up with Apple and switching to those innovative Google Android tablets, huh?

The Macalope supposes that getting your butt kicked in the 10-inch space, then reducing the size to 7 inches and the profit margin to non-existent is a of innovation, but its not exactly something to be bragging about.
