"There's an iPad market," said Tim Bajarin, an analyst at Creative Strategies, "and then there's everyone else."
Where was this rabid fanboyism printed? The Wall Street Journal, in an article titled "Tablet War is an Apple Rout".

- fpgeek 15y agoBecause the WSJ never makes mistakes and never falls prey to groupthink?
- GHFigs 15y agoWhat is that supposed to mean?
- fpgeek 15y agomartythemaniak is claiming that the dominant thinking about the iPad/tablet is wrong. Pointing out that the Wall Street Journal has repeated the dominant thinking by reporting someone's opinion doesn't actually address the charge. It actually reinforces the part of martythemaniak's claim about the thinking being dominant. Many who say thing like "There is no tablet market, but there is an iPad market." also claim that the conventional wisdom is that Android tables vs iPad will be a repeat of Android phones vs iPhone, so I think that is an interesting detail.
- GHFigs 15y agoI'm sorry, but "it's wrong because a lot of people think it" is plainly stupid, and no better than "it's wrong because fanboys think it". I am only pointing out that it isn't just supposedly fanboy sources stating it. Insinuating that I think the WSJ could not possibly be wrong and therefore it is right is simple dickery. The point is that the source is credible in a way that some people (certainly martythemaniak) don't think Gruber, et al. are.
