iPad 2

Actually I was the synth guy in a vaguely successful Electro-rock band... I've never been asked to DJ as my taste in music is rather avant garde...

I couldn't get enough of that electro-synth stuff at the time..

iPad=content consumption device, not content creation device.

iPad sold well last year because it was first to market, and there were no viable competitors until late in the year. Pretty much all analysts I've seen expect Apple's sales to be significantly outnumbered by competitor within a year, though they might remain the largest individual player.

Just like Android is easily overtaking iOS as a larger platform despite Apple's lead.

So to say that other tablets don't sell is misleading.

analysts?  like the ones that told everyone Apple was dead at $12 per share?  Or the ones that didn't see the GFC coming?

Apple's iPad is mimicing the iPod phenomenon: plenty of better quality mp3 players with more features and Apple still got 85% of the market.
