The problem for any company not named Apple is that only Apple is throwing its immense corporate resources into the technology development of the tablet. Everyone else is just going through the motions. Or worse, trying to copy and then make excuses. The reason for that is that Apple has so nailed the cultural/technical meme of the tablet, failure to copy is suicide in the market. Copying, however, gets you into court. Talk about lose-lose. Meanwhile, as the PC sinks into commercial oblivion, and Apple’s competitors struggle with their tablet products, the Macintosh will continue to sail along, the premium solution for people who, for now at least, need what a classic PC should have offered but never could. That’s why Mac sales are growing in the Post-PC era. The pickle the rest of the industry is in is almost comical.
