Consumers Don't Want Prototypes (They Want iPads) @sarahintampa and @rawsoncj tells why, @asymco does the math
The press keeps telling us about Android prototypes that shall "kill" the iPhone. The sad thing is that people don't buy it. They buy iPads.
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) by Chris Rawson tries to explain this behavour in Four Android myths lazy analysts love:
It's a long article, but it's worth reading.Myth 1: Market share is the most important metric possibleMyth 2: Android is a company, not a platformMyth 3: The smartphone market will be a repeat of the PC market, where Apple "failed"Myth 4: For Android to succeed, Apple must fail
I let Horace Dediu in Asymco.com shows us the final proof in his blogpost If Cash is King, Apple’s is an Emperor where he let us see how we vote with our money.
