WOW: The iPad Is Destroying The Netbook Business
WOW: The iPad Is Destroying The Netbook Business: “
Philip Elmer-Dewitt picks up an amazing chart from Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty. The chart shows what has happened to netbook sales since the announcement and introduction of the iPad:
Netbooks, youll recall, were by far the fastest-growing segment of the PC market. Everyone was ga-ga about Netbooks. Apple was getting griped about for refusing to offer a netbook (because it couldnt make one that it didnt think sucked).
Well, now all that has changed, at least temporarily. In April, the month the iPad was released, netbook sales barely grew.
This is bad news for non-Apple computer makers. It’s also bad news for Microsoft.
