Every time I'm directed to an article like this it seems the website takes 5 minutes to load. I'm thinking this "pundit" probably has and old Windows server in his garage next to the water heater.

In any case the "facts" are not facts, just opinions:

" In a recent research note, Goldman Sachs analyst Bill Shope suggested Apple’s firm grip on the global tablet market may finally loosen unless the Cupertino, California-based company lowers its pricing."

If this guy knew anything useful he wouldn't be working for Goldman Sachs.

The rest of the article refutes his initial argument. Demand for Apple’s iPad tablet is said to be in decline

more than likely sloppy semantics. The guy is not well educated enough to be linguistically accurate. If he had said

Demand for Apple’s iPad tablet is said to be in slowing

he might have deserved some credibility. It might be true the iPad has saturated US markets and it is getting a little long in the tooth. But as for the Fire. Apple has always been steady as you go kind of company. I think the Fire will actually cement Apple's pad offerings after people see how bad their experiences are compared to the real McCoy. Long term the Fire will be good for the iPad.
