NEWS: iPad gouges netbook sales

Tablets look set a displace the netbook, if figures from market watcher
DisplaySearch are to be believed.

DisplaySearch tracks all mobile computer sales, from netbooks through
ultraportables right the way up to desktop replacement behemoths.

The telling figures are netbooks' share of the overall mobile computer
market. According to DisplaySearch's data, that share rose from just
under 14 per cent in Q3 2008 to around 20 per cent in Q2 2009 - this
time last year. Since then the share figure has stayed static at just
over 20 per cent.

....

This shows netbooks have found their niche - though at a fifth of the
mobile computer market, it's a big one.

But now it's being eaten into the the tablet, and the iPad in
particular.

DisplaySearch puts the Apple gadget's share of the netbook segment at
6.5 per cent in Q1 2010 - Apple shipped 700,000 of them into retail
channels, DisplaySearch said - rising to 30 per cent in Q2, though that
remains a forecast - the quarter's not done yet.

Crucially, that plateau share of the overall portable PC arena includes
tablets. So as iPad sales have come primarily at the cost of netbook
sales, eating into the latter to keep the overall group's market share
the same.

That's just the iPad - more tablets are coming, from HP and Samsung to
name but two.

Will reverse as soon as word gets out that current tablets are woefully
inadequate, under-performing netbooks and an untenable form factor pda.

I was thinking of the broad middle region of the bell curve that
considers function more of a requirement than appearances.

The iPad is set to surpass Apple Mac computer shipments by September,
while production levels for the yet-to-be-released iPhone 4G will hit 12
million by that time, according to an analyst.

"By the September quarter, iPad sales volumes should exceed Mac, which,
on average, are about 3 million on a quarterly basis," said Ashok Kumar,
an analyst at Rodman & Renshaw, in a phone interview Friday. Kumar said
that iPad shipments will "easily" reach 4 million by the end of the
September quarter.

Kumar also commented on the production ramp for the iPhone 4G. "Supply
chain checks indicate that 4G production volumes will approach 12
million units by the September quarter," he wrote in a research note
sent out Friday. The iPhone 4G is Apple's next-generation iPhone, due
later this year.

"Along with 3GS shipments, total iPhone quarterly volume could approach
15 million units in September. If these trends manifest, iPhone volumes
for the year will top 40 million units or well above current street
estimates. The production volumes are a confirmation that Apple is
increasingly becoming carrier agnostic," Kumar wrote.

Kumar continued. "Verizon launch (is) on track for the holidays: With
FCC certification behind, the primary gating factor remains the terms of
engagement with Verizon. Supply chain checks indicate that Apple will
launch the product in time for the holidays. If these events unfold as
planned, iPhone quarterly volume (all flavors) could reach 17 million
units by December," Kumar wrote.

What really bugs me about the iPad and recent "tablets" is that they are
so far from being a "REAL" tablet pc that they need a new term, maybe
"app-pad" or something.

FWIW there ARE real tablets on the market, and have been for years, that
are full-function PCs that run everything modern laptops and desktops
can run--plus pen-centric stuff you can't even run on standard pcs. I do
90% of my day-to-day PC work on a 5 year old Motion M1400 tablet
(complete with docking station, keyboard, mouse, extended desktop on 2nd
monitor, and multiple usb hubs) and it's 1.1Ghz Pentium M/2GB memory is
ancient compared to the multi-core models available now.

Over 2,000,000 people have disageed with you by voting with their wallets.
Just for fun how many real people can you round up that even remotely agree
with you? By agree with you I mean that are equally viscous Apple haters. I
know you can get Larry and Mark and a few others but far less than
2,000,000. That pretty much leaves you pissing in the wind. Eh?

Ha! cnet luminary in the 1 PM hour on CNBC live stated most maxiPad
buyers haven't even figured out what they can and can't do with it!

Wait until they find its highest/best use is as an overpriced coaster.
