Sure, it goes back to a post that I made on a different thread. When a company comes out with a new product category, then it has a short term monopoly. Over time, that short term monopoly starts to break up as competitors come into the market. What we are seeing is the market start to go in the same direction that the smart phone market did. Apple is still focused on the high profit margin group. They aren't interested in what I would call the commodities part of the market, i.e. cheap tablets.
