"Many analysts agree the new 7.9-inch computer will blow the smaller tablet market wide open" - yeah, cuz the Kindle Fire didn't have ANY impact, right? Apple (and the tech media) has missed the entire point of this market - a low priced alternative to $500+ 10" tablets with a bigger screen than a phone. The only people who are buying this are the already devoted Apple fans who have more money to burn.


Also, "In addition to potentially cannibalizing PC sales" - again, REALLY? I have an iPad, the wife has a Kindle and Nook, but we both still have PCs. This "cannibalization" is just the latest buzzword for tech writers.
