So now they're a monopoly, therefore evil, omg let's get our village torches and pitchforks and burn the whole thing down.
A wee tacky but my boss just goes "well Jobs weighs about the same as a duck"

Sounds like you are confusing market and audience. When Wall Street talks about 'market' they mean the category a device falls in. THe ipad would be something like 'touch screen based mobile personal computing devices'. Even if the ipads audience quadruples, their market 'share' could stay the same or even drop depending on how that audience growth affects the base numbers for sales in the market. And how everyone else is doing. 4x the number of ipad buyers means less if there's 50x more Xoom etc buyers. And just what devices they count in the market. If they include phones like the Tab, iphone etc then the ipad's share is much lower just for that.
Wife and I had the v1 iPads. Now we are stoked about our new iPads that arrived the other day. I synced mine and got it all set up and then noticed that the text is not as crisp. It actually seems to go in and out of fuzziness right before my eyes. And there's a definite angle that it looks best.
I checked out apps like Wall Street Journal, NYT, Pages text, and some games like Words with Friends. Fuzzier than v1 iPad.
So I'm syncing my wife's iPad to my account and running the same checks against our old iPads. I hope it's an anomaly and not something that is unique to these panels.
Does anyone know if they are the same panels? Anyone else seeing the blurriness?
Business finesse. Good business planning. Apple is always planning ahead.
I beg to differ. They are getting desperate. Apple is feeling the pinch of their competitors encroaching on their market share. This is just another method of cock blocking.
