and connect to remote computers and stream my movies to if i need to (sometimes i do) and listen/organize/expand in sync/ to my music anywhere and do digital drawings (reasonably good on the go) and compose software mockups on the go and display presentations on the go and do the interwebs (social, browsing) and bring with me my email/calendar/private and pro. and bring reference files/apps anywhere even offline and do it all on a reasonable form factor without getting fuc*ing blind looking at a diminutive screen. How's that for functionality? It works for me.

From the same survey you quote about the 20% market share: "De-featured, low-cost media tablets are being introduced by more than fifty vendors in 2011. This will certainly help bolster year-over-year growth for the category, but it also creates a negative perception in the minds of the mass consumer audience about the readiness of media tablets to be fully functional within the next several years. Good user experiences and product response are needed to propel this market beyond the âearly adopterâ(TM) stage." That's what I call a spectacular failure: a bunch off half-assed, fragmented chinapads. Even the best hardware is crippled with bad design. I have had several android smartphones and a galaxy tab. Man, what a waste. Once I checked an Ipad I didn't look back anymore. Even the webOS touchpad is a better user experience (I have one too). Just don't want to touch any android again nor with a 10 feet pole. And understand me well, the culprit is not always the hardware. Those tablets just suck.

"I think this is a telling inflection point in the history of nations" So full of yourself, as usual. In the "history of nations" you're just a little spot. And only at the top for 50 years. And even then not a true Empire. Europeans and Asians do it better my friend. (in fact you're an European spin-off after all)
