Forbes on the iPad

I ran across this Forbes article on Flipboard this morning. To be fair, I'm probably not the target audience for the article. However, I struggle to imagine who the target audience really is.

Let me recap the article:

• Apple will have new iPads in the future, but we don't know when.
• There are tablets that cost less than the iPad. Maybe Apple will make a cheaper iPad?
• The iPad 3 will be more powerful.

The first and third points seem obvious to the point of silliness.

The second point perhaps deserves some credit for acknowledging that the tablet market seems to be evolving. Where the 'tablet market' used to be nearly synonymous with the 'iPad market' I do think we're starting to see some division of that market into two segments with iPad like tablets at one end, and smaller, cheaper tablets like the Kindle Fire on the other end.
