I like how the author is using as evidence for Apple’s wobble that people aren’t buying a phone now because they are waiting for Apple’s IPhone5. And also evidence: Apple’s products are cheaper two months in than they were at the launch — something which has never ever happened in the entire history of technological gadgets.

You forgot the sarcasm tag. Technical gadgets are always cheaper a few months after release.

Yep. This article also ignores the fact that the iPhone 4S has the highest customer satisfaction rating of any iPhone ever, at 98%.

The Kindle Fire may take some “tablet” market share from the iPad, but it has had a rocky debut. Further, it and the iPad don’t really aim at the same functionality. I expect there will be a 7” screen iPad at some point, at something like a $300 price point which will play very well against the Fire. (BTW from what I’ve read the new B&N tablet at $249 is head and shoulders above the Fire, and you can read Amazon content on it.)
