Stop internet! Shocking news has come out of Reuters Global Technology Summit. Jen-Hsun Huang, the one who's made some pretty earth shattering allegations over there, is Nvidia's founder and Chief Executive. What exactly did he dare say?
That the tablet market for the next two and a half years will mirror what has happened in the smartphone space in the past two and a half years, at least in the Apple vs Google fight.
What's that? Well, Apple's product (iPhone then, iPad now) gets an early start, great sales, and amazing market share numbers. Slowly, but surely, competition mounts from the Android corner, and, in about two and a half years, Android becomes number one.
An important thing to note here is the focus on just Apple vs Google - so, Symbian fanboys (really? you wills till around?), BlackBerry fanboys (!), Microsoft fanboys, etc.., do not sweat. Yes Symbian has been the No 1 mobile operating system for much of the aforementioned period, but, again, we are just focusing on Apple vs Google here. Okay?
Good. Now that we have cleared that out, the time has come to ask Mr Huang the obvious question: how dare you? How dare you spell out the obvious in front of media people? We mean, do not you know that they all have iThises and iThats in their pockets, on their desks, in their minds... everywhere? Sure, they may have conceded the smartphone battle, but clearly Apple will win out in tablets. Please.... it has to win somewhere. For even though it may be more profitable than all the other companies on Earth combined, some people just hate it when the raw (market share) numbers show something else as No 1.
Oh, media. This is a funny industry. Ask anyone, ANYONE, in it during iPhone 1 times, about Android. We all would have laughed. Hard.
The mobile space is getting more and more interesting by the day, that's for sure. So keep reading, and we will keep updating.
