Finally, Android tablets aren't marketed with 5% of the skill that Apple markets its products.

The floor space was just to show that more hardware choices makes a difference.
Yes, for NOW tablets are associated with the iPad.. that will change... it's already starting to.
Apple will need that marketing expertise to stay viable AT ALL.. which they will (to the tune of 10-15% share)
Lastly, better products at cheaper prices will win out... and Apple will not fit that bill... hell, they had a massive head start and yet Android already has a better OS that will only get better. But REALLY its the prices that will determine the market. The first wave of QUALITY $300 tablets will mark the major shift...I seriously doubt those will come from Apple.
