    Paul Thurrott “as I expected lack of features vs windows tablets causes iPad sales to be lower than analyst estimates”.
    (Go check out Paul’s ‘hilarious’ : “How Apple can fix the iPad in 2011” on Supersite for Windows)

    Zdnet ” Awesome Android and Windows tablets cause iPad Christmas sales to falter” and “Does Apple need a new CEO?”

    Barrons ” is it time to sell Appl?”
