Sigh. Not that the factors he mentions don't contribute, but this still illustrates the bubble many of the Apple-focused bloggers live in (and, arguably, a bubble that Apple itself lives in to some degree, but that's a separate subject).<p>Most of the tablet usage surveys I've there focus on the US. Android tablets are most popular (by far I believe) in Asia. Here's a personal anecdote: When I went to Hong Kong Disneyland last fall I saw as many (maybe even more) people taking pictures with Samsung tablets as I did with iPads. That's just not the sort of tablet usage you'll see in the US. There's a big world out there and many people focused on the US have no idea how well Android (including Android tablets) is doing in the rest of it.
