Fools in April with the iPad Predictions

While Apple announcing Flash iOS or iPad 7-inch may cause a copy of the truth may be aprilis, simply as entertainment. TRUE for the iPad 2 is that month after the release in the United States, supply is still very limited, and international launch Saw stocks sold out during the day. At the same time supply from the original were dwindled iPad to almost nothing. Despite this incredible demand 11 35 analysts queried Fortune 's prediction, the iPad will sell the 5,5 million or fewer units in the quarter, down from 7.1 million the previous quarter. Chris Whitmore Deutsche Bank is on record for Apple to sell only 5 million iPads. How foolish this is?

Not as foolish as Gianfranco Lanci, former feeling be CEO of Acer in the must. Lanci simply resigned as CEO, allegedly due to differences of opinion with the Board of Directors. However, the sources suggested DigiTimes that the iPad is "significantly impact" netbook sales, a significant bottom line, Acer because it has been slowly react with their own Acer tablet PC. In an interview AllThingsDigitalwith talked about delaying response Lanci tablet PC company Acer iPad until this year with the honeycomb block. However, ex-CEO is also on record confirming that it would reach 10 Acer quickly to 20% market share in the tablet PC market "and become the market leader in 2-3 years."

To say that Craig Mundie, Chief Research and strategy officer for Microsoft. With the Sydney Morning HeraldMundie, at business conferences in Australia, as defined by the near future as a "mobile" and "portable, suggesting smartphone could become" the most personal computer and laptops could become "desk mobile." He said tablets "live in the space between", and does not know "whether there will be a permanent one or not." Well, at least that explains Microsoft's foolish tablet strategy to date.

Also seen foolish in Australia was Andy Lark, VP at Dell, which was reportedly down pursuant to the iPad. In accordance WEEKof the Lark said the iPad is "Great." If you got a lot of money and live on the island of Lark explain what he means by the snark blogon their, but think of the iPad are not matched to the actual work in the undertaking, because of the costs and problems associated with the integration of IT. Of course, these assertions contrary to rates of adoption for the iPad at Fortune 100 companies as high as 80 per cent ofand do not forget the cost of "a lot of money" from the Dell Streak with his meager 5-inch display for $ 549.

Finally, every day of the April Fools would be without cognitive Dissonance: the awkward belief that arises in the case of an attempt to reconcile the paradoxical thought in one of the head, as the popularity of the iPad, despite its many weaknesses. " Katherine Noyes PCWorld recently listed seven reasons iPad 2 left her "cold." They include the usual rationalizations: technical data, the lack of censorship, "humdrum" OS, fenced garden app, Flash, security, and, of course, that old canard, "is the marketing of all". Aprilis seems to have more events March long this year, if you ask me.
