“The slide [below] is an interesting look at the rapid growth of tablets and how the category is growing much faster than desktop or notebook PCs ever accomplished,” Jordan Kahn reports for 9to5Mac. “That and the fact there is still much room for growth is one of the key trends in a presentation from Mary Meeker of Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers at this week’s Code Conference.”
“The slide [on the botttom] shows the potential for growth if tablets are to reach the population penetration of PCs (21%), smartphones (22%), or TVs (78%),” Kahn reports. “The data in the slides comes from Morgan Stanley, which just so happen to lower its 2014 tablet growth forecast earlier this month suggesting that weaker than expected iPad sales could stick around for the rest of the year.”
Kahn reports, “Another interesting slide from Meeker’s presentation gives a good look at how iPhone is struggling to keep up with the lower price points of Android smartphones.”

Apple does not fight the lower price war. Neither do Mercedes or BMW or Volvo or anything else worth having.
> Neither do Mercedes or BMW
Why in the world would I want to drive such shitty cars?
Volvo is a respectable brand.
Tomorrows smart phones will make todays smart phones look like yesterdays dumb phones – so YES there will be a new market for them by 2018 – tablets the same – so relax you lame numbers crunching analysts!
When have these guys ever been right?
Their heads will explode when an iPad Mini that folds/contracts/rolls into an iPhone is revealed. It will eventually be categorized as world domination.
