I am not saying Apple is going anywhere.. I am just saying their market share is... They will happily settle into a 15-20% role just like they have with Macs. It's the same business model, it stands to reason the results will be the same.

If the goal of business is to make money I'd say Apple has done just fine as the "luxury niche." Matter of fact, in the auto industry the luxury niche is and has been killing it for years, the guys racing to the cheapest price are losing money hand over fist.
Apple's business model is quite good here. The iPhone has been out for how long now and there's phones that people will argue might be better.....The only person arguing there's competition to the iPad currently is you. (of every person in the entire world)
I don't understand why people get so spun up over this stuff. If you hate Apple, or hate the iPad, or whatever, so be it. Don't buy one. Problem solved and you can spend your time focused on something that matters....
(I forgot to add before---I have a blackberry POS model now, the newest one on Sprint. My company is getting us new phones this week, so pretty soon I'll have an iPhone too. We were going to get Evo4G's, but the bosses decided the iPhone was a better business phone for us I guess.)
