“A swathe of companies are approaching tablets as either large-format smartphones or keyboard-less notebooks but none has so far mounted a serious challenge to the iPad,” Nuttall and Kwong report. “Apple could sell about 15m units this year of a product it unveiled in January and only introduced in April, according to analyst estimates. By comparison, the iPhone sold less than 6m units in its first full year.”
Nuttall and Kwong report, “The iPad’s only significant challenger in 2010 looks like being the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a seven-inch tablet that will go on sale in November.”
MacDailyNews Take: Pfft. Puleeze.
Nuttall and Kwong report, “Doug Reid at Stifel Nikolaus, the investment bank, expects the iPad to have an 82 per cent market share of the 19.2m tablets he forecasts will ship this year. Mr Reid said its dominance would be due to the end of shipment delays, a ‘window of de-facto market exclusivity’ and the likelihood that rivals will try unsuccessfully to integrate their hardware with operating systems such as Android that are unproven relative to Apple’s iOS. Apple is also likely to upgrade the iPad in January: a seven-inch alternative to its 9.7-inch screen is rumoured, while front and back cameras for video conferencing is expected.”

Well, they are “proven” — to be inferior.

In 2010???
2010 is now only 2.5 months in size. And if, if it’s introduced in November it’s even less than 2.5 months. Good luck with that.
Bottom line…. Neither significant nor challenger.

Only 82%!!! How do these analysts come up with these numbers!!!
iPad market share is closer to 100%. Do they really expect the Samsung Galaxy to take 18% marketshare in less than 2 months??

I think they need to increase the screen size a little so that the onscreen keyboard is the same size as a traditional keyboard.

Yeah…my boss told me Tuesday how “Apple is going to get it’s ass kicked” by the Galaxy.
All I could do in reply is to snicker.

Yeah, yeah.
It’s ALL about the OS and the apps. ALL the vaporware tablets announced so far think that a buggy Flash player and USB port are enough to trump Apple’s vast and deep iOS ecosystem.
When one explains that the Dock Connector is indeed a USB port on massive doses of steroids, they STILL don’t get it.
Everyone I know who scoffs at the iPad is ready to buy after I show them a few apps and let them play with mine for 15 minutes.
