Honestly, how does one get a job as a analyst? They either state the obvious, or something completely against reality. It would be the easiest job in the world!
When analysts talk about tech related topic, which they don't know a thing (well most of them), they always fail. Last analyst prediction in September about apple: apple will reach $1 trillion... and its on free fall from then....
Availability of powerful 7" tablets hurts overpriced 10" iPad sales while cheaper Ultrabooks are expected to eat away from the other side of the price and size range?
Congratulations Analysts for stating the painfully obvious.
"An analyst has said that the iPad will face greater challenges for market share from"
You know, pretty much 90+ percent of the THG readers would have given you the same analysis; and for a lot less money.
Not long ago 'analysts' told us Apple will be the first to break the 1 Trillion barrier (got a good laugh out of that one); not they basically state the opposite. Good thing for Wall Street folk, they make money either way. Gotta love that job.
