> But there is still information to be gathered other than "Apple won, give up". There most certainly is more information. Namely, how it was that Apple won and how it is that another company could maybe come close to trying. That would be a more useful analysis than "Hey, so, this guy has half a percent more of the market than this guy, but let's pretend that the iPad doesn't exist and say it's actually more like 6%." Pretending that fighting over the table scraps is a viable business is hardly impressive, here. And then you get little chunks of just straight bullshit, like this. "PC manufacturers are dominant in the tablet space." No, they aren't. They're selling handfuls of units. The dominant players in tablet land aren't commodity PC manufacturers. This is about as useful as saying I'm dominant in my run for the presidency when you only count polling from my friends, family and coworkers. NPD doesn't get off the hook for writing something absurd just because their title matches their thesis and they turned it to their homeroom teacher on time.
