iPad Air 2, Mini 3 Impress But Maintaining Market Share An Uphill Slog For Apple

October 17, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
Apple’s dominance in the tablet market is unquestionable. The company broke open a category with massive market appeal and still commands a sizable lead over Android and Windows offerings. Tablet PCs were around long before the first iPad but giving credit where it’s due, Apple engineered a tablet and ecosystem that delivered the kind of user experience that started a market explosion. Back in the day, Apple was engaged in true innovation. Today, however, the Cupertino outfit is seemingly caught in a cycle of iteration, and they’re paying for it little by little with market share.

Filed under: Investing For decades, Microsoft was synonymous with Bill Gates. After his childhood friend and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen retired in 1983 after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease, Gates was Microsoft, and vice versa. As former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer learned after being named chief executive in 2000, following in the footsteps of a world technology leader isn’t an easy proposition. Some would argue Ballmer brought on much of the ill-will from investors and industry pundits alike by holding on to the past much too long, rather than looking to the future. Based [...]
