During the same time period Sony fell to 11% and Nintendo dropped to 70%, drops of 9% and 5% respectively. They are also estimating this could go even higher with the release of the iPad, but I'm not so sure. I think it will be great for gaming, but I'm thinking this device is going to be used more for the things that Jobs was demonstrating (reading emails, surfing from the couch, etc). I guess we shall see after April 3rd, but what are your thoughts? </p>
