Personally, I think all smart phone, tablet and eReader sales will plummet soon. How many of them do we really need? Why do I really need FOUR eReaders to be able to read 2 eBooks in 2 months?
I think the economy won't help either once the Fed buying of Treasury securities collapses as folks realize it was just a huge manipulation of the world currencies.
The Kindles and iPads we have today may have to last for another 10 years like the fancy radios and cars of the 1920's had to last folks for the entire 1930's.
This reminds me of 1928 when the latest RCA radios and Victrolas were sweeping the planet and there was no end in sight. Everyone and his brother had to buy those Model "A" Fords soon to replace the Model "T" Fords as the wave of the "future."
I find this poll highly significant showing that 17 are not interested in a Kindle Fire HDX at all versus only 6 who purchased one. It could be the canary in the coal mine.
