And comparing the Z series to the Air? Pl-ease! It’s like comparing a Ferrari to a Mini!!!

You obviously haven’t worked this out yet so here’s a little tip: Cheaper doesn’t mean better! And sure, Apple is gaining market share, it’s not because it’s better though it’s because people like the look of the products and find them easy to use. But again, this does not make the products better. Or is a standard calculator better than a scientific one because it’s easier to use (and cheaper)? Let’s face it, most people are simple and therefore need simple products.

Eventually when GOOGLE & APPLE have made irrelevant for most consumers (not gearheads who are only 3-5% of current users) to buy WIN/OS or any PC (from a cheap netbook to a top Sony Vaio-Z), will you realize that your still using the equivalent of a 20′th century electric TYPEWRITER, while APPLE & GOOGLE users are in the 21′st Century using Star Trek devices!

Look at the COST of the three devices, and if you want an Android tablet it will cost you $600-$900!
=========================================
iPad = $499
11″ Macbook Air = $999
Sony Vaio Z = $2500 (w/ dual SSD & RAID)
========================================

This is where APPLE will out perform even GOOGLE, who is using Microsofts old model of letting OEM’s produce cheap products that will be tossed aside, recycled, or broken in 2 years, while APPLE products from 10 years ago are still working fine!

So keep buying those great MS/WIN products like MS/Office, a Zune, or that new W7 phone (filled with bloatware & viruses), and the rest of the World in 5 years will be using GOOGLE/Android products, but you will still be able to type an angry letter with your WORD App from MS/Office 2012 (the LAST version sold!)

Predictions: (5yrs – Worldwide Users)

1. GOOGLE = 40% – 50% (because it will be the cheapest option)
2. APPLE/iOS/OSX products = 30% – 40% (but the best in quality, innovation, & ease of use)
3. MS/WIN, RIM & others = 10% – 20% (of the Computer & Phone devices sold)

BTW, all Macs (including the Air) come with loads more free (and useful) software than the Windows 7 machines (which are stripped of applications) pre-installed, including the great iLife 11 applications.
