the only fair way is "since made available for sale".

but who needs to be fair?

let the sony/kindle/nook/whatever dedicated machines
(even palm and rocketbook!) have their huge head-start
in time...  because even with it, they've fallen far behind.

cook it however you like!  if you can catch it, that is...     :+)


>   Who was it that predicted this whole cellphone thing?!

so why are you backing off it now?

a cellphone that's also being used as an e-reader
is -- by definition -- a multipurpose machine...


>   By when you you think iPad will have half the market?

oh, now you want to make it just the ipad?  ok, no problem.

"since made available for sale"...

1-year-out vs. 1-year-out, 2-years-out vs. 2-years-out, etc.
