However Apple does it, you can make book that a lot of people will immediately say they did it wrong.

"I can see some fairly painless routes to restarting iPhone growth, but the iPad is much more difficult. " Agree. The tablet market, being as immature as it is, makes it hard to know where Apple should go from here. And we don't really know how big it can be-- maybe this is market saturation for the current vision of tablets. I think the growth driver comes down to software. Cook says tablets will eclipse the PC market. They came close in Q4, but to actually replace PC's instead of supplement; I don't see that happening in the enterprise without a huge evolution in functionality. IPad's certainly done a number on the consumer PC market (I'm frankly surprised that Mac sales have held up so well), but enterprise PCs are here to stay, IMO. What else could Apple do to further eat away at consumer PC sales? Is the iPad good enough yet for a college student's main computer? What I don't understand is why anyone is buying a Chromebook. Certainly, Apple should get someone to figure out why everyone buying a Chromebook isn't better served by an iPad or at least a cheap Android tablet.
