Which you could read that as bitter hype; alternatively, we’re watching an organization that’s known to live up to its words. In a contemporary interview with UDN, Acer Inc. Chairman JT Wang echoed ASUS’ recent forecast concerning the iPad’s erosion of the netbook market inside the US and UK, although he also said that netbooks are still selling like hotcakes in developing countries. As for the tablet market itself, Wang believes that Apple’s closed camp operation will ultimately bow to other joint forces once the market matures, thus lowering the iPad’s current near-100.00% share to somewhere between 20 and 30 percent. Hell, the guy even suggested this may be an over-estimation, and spoke of the Mac’s minuscule 5 percent global share over the past few years. And you know what? He could be right. That doesn’t mean that the iPad’s days are numbered though since Apple’s never been desirous about playing the ” race to the bottom.” Apple measures success by profits, not market share — even a small percentage of high-margin laptop and smartphone sales has proven to be a terrific thing for Apple’s final analysis. Besides, if open is the sort of good thing, we’d prefer to question Wang on what caused the Windows-based tablets to flop inside the first place? Regardless, this would definitely be another prediction to appear out for in a couple of years’ time.
