Which makes it all the more important to be positioned to take the lead when the stumble occurs. Particularly in the tablet market where there's already a presumed #2 (Android) looming and other players in the space already making moves. Microsoft would be lucky to enter the top five at this point. Dropping Courier, which could have given them a unique niche in the tablet space and therefore at least some credibility within the tablet market as a whole, may have been the biggest mistake in their long history. After all, the iPad didn't become a huge hit because it was dropped into the public consciousness out of nowhere; Apple laid that groundwork for years with the iPhone and iPod Touch lines.
