Biggest losers: Kids on Christmas day 2012. Same story as Christmas day 2011.

“Mom and dad! WTF is this? Where’s my iPad?!”

Oh yeah. iPad killers.

Now look at the lineup that just abandoned Android in favor of Win RT.

I think this (license) is part of Apple’s grand scheme to marginalize Google/Android. I also think its brilliant.

They are gratified by winners being “knocked down a peg” in their pursuit of “equality of outcome.”

Consumers are buying the iPad of their own free will. It’s not like they don’t have a choice. No one is forcing them to buy the iPad. Consumers like the iPad because it’s a very good device and it’s backed by Apple’s well-known customer service. For the media to always be looking for some inferior device to replace the iPad, makes no sense at all. Clearly, most consumers are not looking or even asking for a substitute iPad. How is that helping the consumer? I often wonder what sort of agenda these media people have.
