Remember, channel stuffing can't stay a secret forever. Android tablets have been on the market a while. Even if a manufacturer takes returns, unlike HP, at some point they either have to sell the tablet or take the loss. Other than RIM, I haven't heard of any manufacturers writing down tablets on the scale that would be required to sustain channel stuffing.

That's true but there are a lot of warehouses in the distribution channel and they could very well be sitting there. Companies can keep write-downs off their books for a while. I remember there was at least one accusation by Lenovo that Samsung was doing it with the Galaxy Tab at the end of last year: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/sep/02/samsung-galaxy-tab http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/sep/02/samsung-gal...
