Acer chairman: iPad share will drop to 20%

Take this one with a grain of sale: In a Chinese-language interview with the Economic Daily News — as reported by “DigiTimes” (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20100823PB200.html), JT Wang, chairman of Acer, said that he expects Apple’s iPad market share to drop from close to 100% currently to only 20%-30% after the tablet PC market stabilizes.

He also cited a research report indicating that the market share for Android smartphones has already surpassed that of iOS models. According to “DigiTimes,” Wang said that, according to past experience, a closed platform will eventually lose to an open one, and that he believes Android simply needs a little more time before it begins to dominate.
