IDC: Android Tablets Gain Momentum in the Third Quarter, Expectations Remain High for the Holiday Quarter.

Apple tried every means legal and otherwise to monopolize the tablet space but they just could not hold back the swarm of Android/Linux tablets. They are not yet losing share in tablets the way they did in smartphones but it will happen sooner or later. Hiding behind invalid patents and false claims shows fear haunts Apple. FLOSS and ARM are just too good to allow Apple to claim a monopoly.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
