Hmmm....
Seems like an oxymoron - tablet sales are declining but they are surpassing
PC sales.
No oxymoron. New data show that the limited-use tablets, the ones like iPads,
are dropping off in sales, much more than PCs are. Like, more than twice as
much, as percentage year to year. But you have to look at new data, not rely on
your three year old numbers.
PC drop in sales is greater Bert.
Go back and look again. What is the drop in PC sales? What is the drop in iPad
and Samsung tablet sales? Numbers.
There are a huge number of people in the U.S. With both smartphones
and tablets.
And they are quick to buy the new, bigger smartphone, but not the new tablet.
For one thing, the smartphone is something they carry around all the time. Not
only do they look at *it* constantly, but they also show everyone around them
how cool they are. It's a fashion accessory. The tablet is none of those
things.
Many have purchased larger phones and phablets, not to replace their
tablet, but to improve their phone experience.
You're just waving your arms, Craig. I can tell you that my wife certainly uses
her new smartphone more now, and her Amazon tablet less, even to read books.
That's neither here nor there. My guess is that tablets are getting used less,
and it's at least as credible as any guess you can come up with. Until you have
real data, you are just waving your arms.
I provided you with plenty of good evidence. You choose to ignore it.
You provided only an article from 2012. I make it a point to ignore anything
that old, when it comes to describing current day behavior. So yes, I chose to
ignore your outdated article.
