>>>>> "The first iPad was released in 2010. It may not have been perfect, but it was unquestionably the best tablet of its era."
It's been two years, not exactly an "era". I also remember the Motorola Xoom coming out in 2010 and giving Apple a run for its money. Also, if the ipad was SO awesome for an entire "era", then why did Apple come out with the ipad 2 a year after the first one was released?
People just don't like it when someone comes out challenges Apple's status quo.
> In the same period that those Honeycomb tablets have sold 3.4m, Apple has sold more than 25m iPads. In the period that Rubin says those 6m have been sold, Apple has sold just short of 40m iPads.
I'd hardly count that as 'giving Apple a run for its money'.
