Why Apple's iPad is in big trouble

[Elwood P Dowd]

78. And every other computer/phone company uses the same manufacturing suppliers with the exact

same conditions. You are just an Apple hater, and just like the article, refuse to mention (except briefly in the article) that all the other companies are no different than Apple. Microsoft, Sony, HP, Dell, Samsung, and all the others use the same suppliers such as Foxconn, but you won't admit it. That will not fit your agenda. If you typed this post on a computer/keyboard or smart phone/tablet built the last few years, I would say there is at least a 90% chance it was made by one of the same Asian owned contractors that you complain about Apple using. You are using similar tactics as Issa in the House: Pick out republican groups being checked by the IRS while totally ignoring all the other groups, then demonizing the living hell out of the IRS. Perception and reality are now 180 degrees out of phase just like with you.

All these companies are the same: They are all about the lowest manufacturing cost/highest margin for their products. That won't change because Americans want their electronics cheap and Wall Street wants record profits and increased shareholder values. 100% of the republicans and a sizable chunk of Democrats won't do anything to rock the boat.
