The Verizon Googlepad: iPad Threat or Feckless Imitator?

May 12, 2010

"The mobile phone business has always been a bit of a 'me-too' business. If anybody has a hit, their competitors always have to come up with some kind of a response," John Barrett, Parks Associates director of research, told the E-Commerce Times. "At the end of the day, you're not going to get fired for having a response to the iPad that doesn't do so well. You're going to get fired if you don't have your own iPad. You've got to do something. If it becomes a runaway hit, and it was on your watch and you don't have an answer, you're in trouble."
