Hey i like the nexus tablet as well , more so than Samsung’s tabs. Is it my fault i like the best things in life. Ps. I also think that the new iPad is a nice piece. I don’t follow brands, i follow what’s best. That pretty well rules out most things that are Apple.

“However, sales of Macs and iPads were down in
2012. Last year, Apple sold an average of almost 15 10-inch iPads per
hour at the Mall of America, while this year only saw 6.7 per hour. Mac
hourly averages were down 60% since last year as well.”

So actually this year, Apple sold less Ipads than last year? 15 (2011) vs 6.7 (2012). Tha’s 45% down, and Mac was even worse, 60%!

The two stores were monitored for a combined 10 hours — 8 hours for the Apple Store, and 2 hours for the Microsoft Store.

What, really, your kidding me. It has only got a niche market to cater for. If there was going to be any huge sales, it would of been for the first one. I can’t believe you don’t and can’t understand that, the average person who buys a tablet, just wants basically, a big smart phone (without the phone part) If you think Joe Blow wants a tablet for anything more than to surf the Web, look at some movies, play some games, let the kids play with it, and to check their emails, your sadly mistaken.

To think the surface1 would fly off the shelves is alittle far-fetched. But it is a 1st version, and currently the only version available was written for a completely different architecture. With that being said, I put money that the sales of the surface RT far exceed the initial release of the ipad or any android tablet.

11 ipads an hour? So they sold 264 ipads max in 24 hrs.? Big Deal. It’s actually even less since stores aren’t open all 24hrs. on black Friday

This story is inaccurate the two stores were monitored for 2 HOURS. Do your research slashgear.

11 iPads per hour for 12 hours = 132 tablets. Big deal. How many thousands of people were in those malls. How did google do with their tablets. No surprise about the window’s tablets though. And all the windows fans were all “yeah, windows tablets are going to take over the world” a few months before its release. Now you don’t hear of them much apart from the “the windows pro version is going to take over the world” I think Apple tablets and Android tablets can breathe easy.
