Apple roars out of the Steppes (of Cupertino) like a Mongol horde, pillaging all who stand in their way, sowing the soil of Rim, Google and Microsoft with salt, never to grow again.

In six months the iPad is selling in Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Amazon, Apple Stores, Sam’s Club, AT&T and Verizon stores. Apple is going for the jugular on this one folks. And no telco is going to slow it down this time.
The tablet market is going to be completely eviscerated, drawn & quartered, keelhauled and then disemboweled by Apple. Yes, it will be ugly. They are gonna be screaming “Uncle!” in a year, an “Uncle” won’t show up.
Oh yea, did I mention China? The iPad is in China too.

Apple is routing the competition from the very top to the very bottom with broad strategic vision (both in grand and tactical levels), innovative and easy-to-use technologies, unmatched marketing flair, and brutally efficient operational execution. I’m a big fan of great military strategists and conquerors Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan (that’s where my moniker comes from) and I can honestly say that what Jobs and Apple are doing right now is easily comparable to what those amazing historical legends accomplished during their times. We are witnessing a truly remarkable *thing* (I don’t know what else to call *all* of this at the moment) unfolding and progressing on an almost-daily basis. Yes, it’s unprecedented. And the greatest part is that Jobs and Apple still have many territories to conquer yet. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />

Apple needs to keelhaul the tablet market, first. There isn’t much point in keelhauling parts of a body that have either been drawn and quartered or eviscerated unless you are trying to feed sharks. Evisceration and disembowelment are synonymous.
Nonetheless, I share your sentiments.

I favour *defenestration*. It’s much less work than keelhauling, but can have the desired effect using a building as tall as Ballmer’s hubris.
