Apple's supply chain (still thinking about it from NYT article on Sunday) is a big reason that Android's numbers aren't even bigger. I ordered my ASUS Transformer Prime 3 1/2 weeks ago, and Amazon says I'll still be waiting another 2 weeks at least. The Prime is the first true example of hardware spec superiority to the iPad in the tablet market - granted it may only keep that position for a few months. However, a multiplatform operating system breeds hardware competition. Hardware performance attracts the games market, and that is one of the software bellwethers. I think Android is going to continue to push the power of what we can do with a tablet, and we're going to see a similar environment to what we have in the PC market where Apple's offerings plateau in terms of performance much more quickly than its Android counterparts.
