   There were acquisition talks in June 2013 which fell through because the price wasn't right. Elop just had to bide his time. http://www.tech-thoughts.net/2013/06/failed-microsoft-nokia-...

   "We know that effectively nobody browses the web on their Android tablets full of stretched-out phone apps." this is false. android tablet browsing is substantial and growing fast. Looks like 25% in july 2013 in this graph, up from 15% in july 2012. http://www.tech-thoughts.net/2013/08/reality-android-tablet-...

   > I'm not sure why so many are predicting WPs death - it's actually doing pretty well outside the US. Here in the UK it's now just under 10%. Pundits are far too US orientated. Trouble is, the US is a large and profitable smartphone market. And it's locked up by the on-contract subsidy model. There is a strong relationship between iPhone market share and subsidy amount. Countries with no subsidies have very few iPho…

   A friend of mine has broken this down precisely in this manner, and come up with a 'cannibalisation estimate' [1] of 50%, using product-wise sales data from the Apple-Samsung patent tiff [2].

    Interesting. This is quite similar to another analysis I came across [1] of why the iPad Mini could be priced in a range from $249 to $299, by going into a breakdown of the BOM (Bill of Materials) [2] [1] http://www.tech-thoughts.net/2012/08/ipad-mini-bom-299-price...

    It is "bull". The tablets are being bought and used mostly outside the US, primarily in Asia. If you compare global sales with US web usage you've got a mystery to explain because the figures don't match, which leads to theories like all Android tablets get bought and put in drawers. If you look at web usage segmented by region it's clear that they're getting used roughly in line with installed base, which is higher…

    > usage numbers from all over the internet seem to indicate that not many people are actually using their Android tablets That's not true. US usage figures don't match up with global sales and people forget there's a big non-US world out there: http://www.tech-thoughts.net/2013/08/reality-android-tablet-... Also note that usage is a trailing indicator of sales since previously sold devices are still in use.
