This article seems about right to me. I suspect that move away from Apple in the iPad Market will be much less marked as in the phone Market where I believe the glory days of the iPhone are behind it smoothed by the weight of the android onslaught. The iPad is different, it is bigger and it becomes far more personal as it takes over much of your relationship with the wired world without. Also Apple appear to want to maintain their Market share as the prices are kept low by comparison to the product they are producing. If I were cynical I would suspect that this was Apple's plan all along - use the phone as a way to create a Market and then capitalise on this Market with a killer product such as the iPad - this is far too cynical I know but it does fit the facts.
The real killer app in all this is iTunes - the iPad is good but without the limitless creativity of the App Store then the iPad and iPhone would be pretty but not very useful. However, what the he'll do I know! iPad News: Gartner Says Apple Will Rule Tablet Market Until 2015
