Kyle Baxter, on Apple's success:
"When competitors saw that the iPad was selling so strongly, they decided that they needed to sell a tablet device, too, because they thought Apple was selling a ton of iPads because it is a tablet. They didn’t understand that people are actually buying them because the iPad is a confluence of purposefully-designed hardware and software. So they put Windows and Android-powered devices on the market, and sold very few devices."
