Acer`s iPad Challenge: 10 Ways Acer Can Beat Apple`s Tablet
In a recent interview, Acer chairman JT Wang said that he expects Apple’s iPad market share to fall to around 20 percent within the next few years. He told the Chinese magazine UDN that, like Macs, which have a very small percentage of the computer market, Apple’s iPad will be the fashionable, but trailing player in the space.
