Anyone can build a tablet. Apple just has the prettiest display at the moment.

btw, the iPhone is going down hard in about 6-8 months. You’ll see. When windows 8 and windows phones are up to full speed there will be nothing to stand in Microsoft’s way.

That's what they were saying about Windows Phone 7, flop.

LOL...right. Any day now MS is going to dominate the phone landscape. You'll be old and gray before that ever happens. Remember all these smash hits?

1. PocketPC 2000
2. Windows CE
3. Pocket PC 2002
4. Windows Mobile 2003
5. Windows Mobile 2003 SE
6. Windows Mobile 5
7. Windows Mobile 6
8. Windows Mobile 6.1
9. Windows Mobile 6.5

And that doesn't even include all the Windows Mobile Professional, Windows Mobile Standard and Windows Mobile Classic flavors which all bombed.

Their cumulative sales probably don't even equal a single year's sales of iPhone.

Funny how there have been so many "iPhone killers" in the future tense, but none in the present tense. Is it Windows Phone 7? The Samsung Galaxy S II? HTC Tunderbolt? HTC Evo 4G? Palm Pre? Blackberry Torch? Nokia N9? Samsung Wave? HTC Droid Incredible? (All of those links are to stories with "iPhone killer" in the headline.)

On the tablet side, we've had the Motorola Xoom, Galaxy Tab, Kindle Fire, HP Touchpad, Blackberry Playbook, Sony Tablet S, and Asus Eee Pad Transformer. So you can understand why "iPad Killer!!1!!1!" predictions are met with a fair amount of skepticism.
