Thanx! Looks pretty mundane to me. Anything there that surprised anyone? Personally, I think the continued softness in iPad demand is worth discussing. I know I'm treading close to verboten territory here, but we now know that the new products did not reignite growth; here is where an honest assessment of market share could explain why. Is it due to competition or market saturation? If iPad has >90% market share of a saturated market, the strategy is much different than if iPad is actually losing share to competitors within Apple's addressable market. If the market is saturated, how can Apple make a tablet appeal to a customer that wasn't previously interested in a tablet? I think the lowest hanging fruit is the chrome book market. No one should be buying those IMO. What are people doing with them that couldn't be done better on a tablet? College students are another under served market I would think. Is the iPad good enough to be the only computer for a student? Maybe Office for iPad helps with this, and a decent keyboard promotion is all that's needed enter this market.
