So many people are stuck with what to give for the holidays and I believe this is one of the biggest reasons the KF sold so well. If it was released at any other time, sales (while still perhaps pretty good) would have paled in comparison over the course of the same amount of time on the market. How many IPADs were given as a gift?
I'm pretty sure Apple is working on a smaller tablet, the KF perhaps one of the biggest reasons why.
