I found this comment amusing given the fact that the poll and the description of the poll show a dramatic erosion of Apple's market share...

That's a significant shift over one year. And with the Nexus 7, new Nooks and Kindles, it's just getting started. Though it's a shame the nooks and kindles run a forked version of Android.

That survey thing is somewhat surprising. I generally don't follow the numbers on these things (unless I need to make some half-arsed argument), but if those market share numbers are accurate, I am surprised that there aren't more Apple fondleslabs floating around. I would have thought that number to be a bit bigger with all the "Android tablets are on their deathbeds" that some tech sites spout. |

The most amazing thing about this data to me is that 22% of Americans own tablets.

That basically tells us the market is ripe for tablets. As the prices tumble, the percentage of households with tablets is certain to increase. Especially with the shopping season around the corner.

"Apple's place is in ground. It's immovable for the next coming decades."!
is a statement that is ridiculous. |

Does anybody think that passing away of Steve Jobs has anything to do with this? I say yes, their money man is gone. And yes, their lawyers sure create a bitter impression in public about the company.

For one, the tablet market is only just getting off the ground, of course Apple had a huge lead, they had the first one! Of course it takes time for other companies to design and biuld them etc etc |

Surely it's global markets that matter, not one particular local market? Apple, Samsung, etc, are global companies.

And if you think the average person on the street knows anything about an Apple lawsuit, I think you're kidding yourself. The general public isn't that aware and they just don't care. |

Because the stock market in general has been moving up since his death. Also they are still living off SJ's ideas that were in the pipeline. The real test is still the come, let us talk again in two years. We have yet to see anything really new post-Jobs. I think it is hard to argue that SJ is not THE person responsible for Apple's success and that he will be hard to replace -- especially now that others are coming on strong.
