Many technological experts said the tablet and iPad were going to be the greatest thing to the computer world since the Internet. How’s that working out?
According to charts I’ve seen, iPad revenue has been stagnant since late 2011, while iPhone revenue continues to soar. The selling price of iPads have dwindled to around $500 on average. That average was $650 four years ago. Their quarterly sales have been considerably lower than? iPhones are. It’s not just iPads. All across the board, from Amazon to Motorola, tablet sales are lower than they were a year ago. So what’s going on here?
I think the tablet/iPad is caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, one can go to their PC and surf the net. While going out, one can take their laptop for use. I see it in coffee houses everywhere, and other public facilities. On the other hand, look at how big smartphones have gotten (I mean that in popularity). You can just easily reach in your pocket for your phone (I have an iPod touch) and it will serve you even better than a tablet will. It’s not easy being a tablet. Would you buy one?
